Architectural Styles and the Design of Network-based Software Architectures

by Roy Thomas Fielding , 2000
"... The World Wide Web has succeeded in large part because its software architecture has been designed to meet the needs of an Internet-scale distributed hypermedia system. The Web has been iteratively developed over the past ten years through a series of modifications to the standards that define its ..."

B4: Experience with a Globally-Deployed Software Defined WAN

by Sushant Jain, Alok Kumar, Subhasree M, Joon Ong, Leon Poutievski, Arjun Singh, Subbaiah Venkata, Jim W, Junlan Zhou, Min Zhu, Jonathan Zolla, Urs Hölzle, Stephen Stuart, Amin Vahdat, Google Inc
"... We present the design, implementation, and evaluation of B4, a private WAN connecting Google’s data centers across the planet. B4 has a number of unique characteristics: i) massive bandwidth requirements deployed to a modest number of sites, ii) elastic traffic demand that seeks to maximize average ..."

bandwidth, and iii) full control over the edge servers and network, which enables rate limiting and demand measurement at the edge. These characteristics led to a Software Defined Networking architecture using OpenFlow to control relatively simple switches built from merchant silicon. B4’s centralized

Securing the Software-Defined Network Control Layer

by Phillip Porras, Steven Cheung, Martin Fong, Keith Skinner, Vinod Yegneswaran
"... Abstract—Software-defined networks (SDNs) pose both an opportunity and challenge to the network security community. The opportunity lies in the ability of SDN applications to express intelligent and agile threat mitigation logic against hostile flows, without the need for specialized inline hardware ..."

An Architecture for Active Networking

by Samrat Bhattacharjee, Kenneth L. Calvert, Ellen W. Zegura - IEEE Communications Magazine , 1997
"... Active networking offers a change in the usual network paradigm: from passive carrier of bits to a more general computation engine. The implementation of such a change is likely to enable radical new applications that cannot be foreseen today. Large-scale deployment, however, involves significant ch ..."

DEPLOYMENT-DRIVEN SECURITY CONFIGURATION FOR VIRTUAL NETWORKS

by Ramaswamy Chandramouli
"... Virtualized Infrastructures are increasingly deployed in many data centers. One of the key components of this virtualized infrastructure is the virtual network – a software-defined communication fabric that links together the various Virtual Machines (VMs) to each other and to the physical host on w ..."

SENSS: Software Defined Security Service

by Minlan Yu, Ying Zhang, Jelena Mirkovic, Abdulla Alwabel
"... Network attacks have long been an important problem, and have attracted a lot of research in academic and com-mercial sector. With a rapidly growing number of critical as well as business applications deployed on the Internet today, network attacks have both become more lucrative for the attackers a ..."

1 Languages for Software-Defined Networks

by Nate Foster, Michael J. Freedman, Arjun Guha, Rob Harrison, Naga Praveen Katta, Christopher Monsanto, Joshua Reich, Mark Reitblatt, Jennifer Rexford, Cole Schlesinger, Alec Story, David Walker
"... Abstract—Modern computer networks perform a bewildering array of tasks, from routing and traffic monitoring, to access control and server load balancing. Yet, managing these networks is unnecessarily complicated and error-prone, due to a heterogeneous mix of devices (e.g., routers, switches, firewal ..."

Software-Defined Networks (SDN) are poised to change this by offering a clean and open interface between networking devices and the software that controls them. In particular, many commercial switches support the Open

Abstractions for network update

by Mark Reitblatt, Nate Foster, Jennifer Rexford - In ACM SIGCOMM’12 , 2012
"... Configuration changes are a common source of instability in networks, leading to outages, performance disruptions, and security vulnerabilities. Even when the initial and final configurations are correct, the update process itself often steps through intermediate configurations that exhibit incorrec ..."

We develop a formal model of OpenFlow networks, and prove that consistent updates preserve a large class of properties. We describe our prototype implementation, including several optimizations that reduce the overhead required

SOFTWARE DEFINED NETWORKS Improving Network Management with Software Defined Networking

by Hyojoon Kim, Nick Feamster
"... Network management is challenging. To operate, maintain, and secure a communication network, network operators must grapple with low-level vendor-specific configuration to implement complex high-level network policies. Despite many previous proposals to make networks easier to manage, many solutions ..."

A new paradigm in networking, software defined networking (SDN), advocates separating the data plane and the control plane, making network switches in the data plane simple packet forwarding devices and leaving a logically centralized software program to control the behavior
