Software Define Network(SDN) and Openflow
KHNOGOctober, 2015
Overview
• Getting to know about SDN• Benefit of SDN• What SDN will help network engineer?• Understanding about Openflow• Demo
What is SDN?There are many definition about SDN is the technology enabling programmable networks Using software running in general purpose
OS/Hardware The physical saperation of the network control plan
from the forwarding plan, and where the control plancontrols several devices
- Open SDN (openflow)- SDN via API’s- SDN via Overlays (VMWare)
Network Infrastructure
• No Practical way to experiment new networkprotocol
• Most ideas from network research are untried anduntested
• Belief that the network infrastructure has“ossified” (unable to change)
• Proprietary OS is running on proprietary Hardware• Network administrator difficult to manage different
vendors devices

Open SDN (Openflow)
• First Standard communication interface (Controland Forward plan)
• Forward plan reside on Switch, router• Control plan move to controller server• Openflow switch and controller communicate via

OpenFlow has been prototyped on….• Ethernet switches
• HP, Cisco, NEC, Quanta, + more underway• IP routers
• Cisco, Juniper, NEC• Switching chips
• Broadcom, Marvell• Transport switches
• Ciena, Fujitsu• WiFi APs and WiMAX Basestations
