Abstract

Software-Defined Networking is a novel paradigm, based on the separation of the data plane from the control plane. It facilitates direct access to the forwarding plane of a network switch or router over the network. Though it has a lot advantages, the SDN technology leaves considerable room for improvement. Research problems like efficient techniques for customization and optimization for SDN networks are under investigation. This paper aims at proposing a model for traffic engineering in SDN-based networks.
