Software-defined networking for the future

On the Edge

Conclusions

With the spread of 5G and IoT, SDN technologies will become even more established in the market. ONF's new projects provide a glimpse into the 5G network future, which will most likely be largely software based and independent of proprietary hardware. SDN technology is also spreading in the industry, although proprietary variants often have good chances because the providers are already familiar to their client bases.

    Microsoft provides some interesting virtualization features in current and future versions of Windows Server. You can connect or isolate virtual machines, and Windows Server 2016 even supports virtual switches.
  • Software-defined networking with Windows Server 2016
    Windows Server 2016 takes a big step toward software-defined networking, with the Network Controller server role handling the centralized management, monitoring, and configuration of network devices and virtual networks. This service can also be controlled with PowerShell and is particularly interesting for Hyper-V infrastructures.
  • Floodlight: Welcome to the World of Software-Defined Networking

    Software-Defined Networking (SDN) marks a paradigm shift toward a more holistic approach for managing networking hardware. The Floodlight OpenFlow controller offers an easy and inexpensive way to experience the power of SDN.

  • Successful protocol analysis in modern network structures
    Virtual networks and server structures require additional mechanisms to ensure visibility of data streams. We show how to monitor and analyze network functions, even when virtualization is involved.
  • GENEVE network tunneling protocol
    LAN data transmission has evolved from the original IEEE 802.3 standard to virtual extensible LAN (VXLAN) technology and finally to today's Generic Network Virtualization Encapsulation (GENEVE) tunneling protocol, which offers improved flexibility and scalability, although it still faces some issues. We look at the three technologies and their areas of application.
