Rather than creating yet another network controller which provides a framework in a specific (potentially new) programming language and runs as a monolithic application, in this paper we extend an existing operating system and leverage its software ecosystem in order to serve as a practical SDN controller. This paper introduces yanc, a controller platform for software-defined networks which exposes the network configuration and state as a file system, enabling user and system applications to interact through standard file I/O, and to easily take advantage of the tools available on the host operating system. In yanc, network applications are separate processes, are provided by multiple sources, and may be written in any language. Applications benefit from common and powerful technologies such as the virtual file system (VFS) layer, which we leverage to layer a distributed file system on top of, and Linux namespaces, which we use to isolate applications with different views (e.g., slices). In this paper we present the goals and design of yanc. Our initial prototype is built with the FUSE file system in user space on Linux and has been demonstrated with a simple static flow pusher application. Effectively, we are making Linux the network operating system.

Aiming at the local overload of multi-controller deployment in software-defined networks, a load balancing mechanism of SDN controller based on reinforcement learning is designed. The initial paired migrate-out domain and migrate-in domain are obtain
ed by calculating the load ratio deviation between the controllers, a preliminary migration triplet, contains migration domain mentioned above and a group of switches which are subordinated to the migrate-out domain, makes the migration efficiency reach the local optimum. Under the constraint of the best efficiency of migration in the whole and without migration conflict, selecting multiple sets of triples based on reinforcement learning, as the final migration of this round to attain the global optimal controller load balancing with minimum cost. The experimental results illustrate that the mechanism can make full use of the controllers resources, quickly balance the load between controllers, reduce unnecessary migration overhead and get a faster response rate of the packet-in request.
We show that given a desired closed-loop response for a system, there exists an affine subspace of controllers that achieve this response. By leveraging the existence of this subspace, we are able to separate controller design from closed-loop design
by first synthesizing the desired closed-loop response and then synthesizing a controller that achieves the desired response. This is a useful extension to the recently introduced System Level Synthesis framework, in which the controller and closed-loop response are jointly synthesized and we cannot enforce controller-specific constraints without subjecting the closed-loop map to the same constraints. We demonstrate the importance of separating controller design from closed-loop design with an example in which communication delay and locality constraints cause standard SLS to be infeasible. Using our new two-step procedure, we are able to synthesize a controller that obeys the constraints while only incurring a 3% increase in LQR cost compared to the optimal LQR controller.
For many, this is no longer a valid question and the case is considered settled with SDN/NFV (Software Defined Networking/Network Function Virtualization) providing the inevitable innovation enablers solving many outstanding management issues regardi
ng 5G. However, given the monumental task of softwarization of radio access network (RAN) while 5G is just around the corner and some companies have started unveiling their 5G equipment already, the concern is very realistic that we may only see some point solutions involving SDN technology instead of a fully SDN-enabled RAN. This survey paper identifies all important obstacles in the way and looks at the state of the art of the relevant solutions. This survey is different from the previous surveys on SDN-based RAN as it focuses on the salient problems and discusses solutions proposed within and outside SDN literature. Our main focus is on fronthaul, backward compatibility, supposedly disruptive nature of SDN deployment, business cases and monetization of SDN related upgrades, latency of general purpose processors (GPP), and additional security vulnerabilities, softwarization brings along to the RAN. We have also provided a summary of the architectural developments in SDN-based RAN landscape as not all work can be covered under the focused issues. This paper provides a comprehensive survey on the state of the art of SDN-based RAN and clearly points out the gaps in the technology.
Software Defined Networking (SDN) is a promising approach for improving the performance and manageability of future network architectures. However, little work has gone into using SDN to improve the performance and manageability of existing networks
without requiring a major overhaul of the existing network infrastructure. In this paper, we show how we can dramatically improve, or supercharge, the performance of existing IP routers by combining them with SDN-enabled equipment in a novel way. More particularly, our supercharged solution substantially reduces the convergence time of an IP router upon link or node failure without inducing any reconfiguration of the IP router itself. Our key insight is to use the SDN controller to precompute backup forwarding entries and immediately activate them upon failure, enabling almost immediate data-plane recovery, while letting the router converge at its typical slow pace. By boosting existing equipments performance, we not only increase their lifetime but also provide new incentives for network operators to kickstart SDN deployment. We implemented a fully functional supercharger and use it to boost the convergence performance of a Cisco Nexus 7k router. Using a FPGA-based traffic generator, we show that our supercharged router systematically converges within ~150ms, a 900x reduction with respect to its normal convergence time under similar conditions.
In this work, we propose online traffic engineering as a novel approach to detect and mitigate an emerging class of stealthy Denial of Service (DoS) link-flooding attacks. Our approach exploits the Software Defined Networking (SDN) paradigm, which re
nders the management of network traffic more flexible through centralised flow-level control and monitoring. We implement a full prototype of our solution on an emulated SDN environment using OpenFlow to interface with the network devices. We further discuss useful insights gained from our preliminary experiments as well as a number of open research questions which constitute work in progress.
