ABSTRACT
It is very important that the network which we use should be fast, secure and reliable. Software-defined networking (SDN) can be used to simplify the network management by using the architecture of controller, data plane and applications. Through centralized control, various tasks like routing, monitoring, load balancing and security can be controlled. SDN is used for wireless sensor networks (WSN) reliability, SDN-based security for Cloud IoT, multi-radio communication,, improving quality of service to get lower packet loss rate and balanced link utilization. SDN is also used to improve quality of service (QoS) for IoT. In this chapter, existing SDN networks are simulated and with the knowledge of the above simulation results, other tasks like measurement of traffic flow on network, improvement in packet loss rate and improvement in bandwidth utilization are presented. In this chapter, a comparative study of the use of SDN for different applications and the results of network simulation using Mininet and Miniedit platforms are presented.
