Abstract
Software Defined Networking (SDN) is a
networking approach based on a centralized control plane
architecture with standardised interfaces between control
and data planes. SDN enables fast configuration and
reconfiguration of the network to enhance resource
utilization and service performances. This new approach
enables a more dynamic and flexible network, which may
adapt to user needs and application requirements. To this
end, systemized solutions must be implemented in network
software, aiming to provide secure network services that
meet the required service performance levels. In this paper,
we review this new approach to networking from an
architectural point of view, and identify and discuss some
critical quality issues that require new developments in
software technologies. These issues we discuss along with
use case scenarios. Here in this paper we aim to identify
challenges for further evolution of software technologies in
addressing problems of network evolution. Our view is
based on the need for strong integration of network and
software technologies, and therefore we establish the main
focus of the paper on discussing SDN demands on software
technologies. The main contribution is in categorization of
open research problems and presenting ideas and opening
new opportunities for future research.
