Analysis of software-defined radio for optical networking

Abstract

Software defined networking (SDN) is a communications methodology that centralizes network management and programmability resulting in more flexible network administration. This project aims to configure and simulate a software-defined network to implement customized, dynamically-assigned flow control rules between network nodes – replacing static routes. We consider virtual network embedding (VNE) in development of network routing algorithms. Through this project, we seek to demonstrate the feasibility and benefits of SDN-based network control for diverse systems, enhancing adaptability and efficiency in managing communication between diverse network nodes. The proposed work is crucial for advancing adaptive, efficient, and scalable communication systems, enabling dynamic resource management, enhanced interoperability, and supporting next-generation technologies like six generation (6G) and IoT seamlessly.
