Abstract

The Internet of Things (IoT) and Software Defined Network (SDN) are two emerging technologies. The IoT aims to connect devices over the Internet. Networks on which these IoT devices operate will continue to be heterogeneous and the network becomes more complex. SDN paradigm provides efficient network management by decoupling the control plane and the data plane, it allows facing network heterogeneity and interoperability (networks-to-network communications) through a programmable manner, this paradigm allows the communication between various objects independently of their respective technologies and thus allows dealing with the problem of heterogeneity. The main objective of this chapter is to present an overview of SDN-based pertinent solutions that consider network level interoperability and heterogeneity in the IoT.
