Abstract

Software-defined networking is a rising technology in near future aiming to build programmable networks as a way to simplify the evolution of networks. It is a new networking paradigm with the main aim is to decouple forwarding hardware from control decisions. This article explores the capabilities of SDN and OpenFlow techniques, provides a state of the art review of existing works, and examines current and future research directions for developing SDN architectures.
