Abstract
Expanding software defined networking (SDN) to transport networks requires new strategies to deal with the large
number of flows that future core networks will have to face. New south-bound protocols within SDN have been
proposed to benefit from having control plane detached from the data plane offering a cost- and energy-efficient
forwarding engine. This paper presents an overview of a new approach named KeyFlow to simultaneously reduce
latency, jitter, and power consumption in core network nodes. Results on an emulation platform indicate that
round trip time (RTT) can be reduced above 50% compared to the reference protocol OpenFlow, specially when
flow tables are densely populated. Jitter reduction has been demonstrated experimentally on a NetFPGA-based
platform, and 57.3% power consumption reduction has been achieved
