Software Defined Networking: Architecture and Applications

Software defined networking (SDN) is an architecture that provides a scalable distributed system running on commodity hardware, enabling automated provisioning and configuration, translation, and assurance. It is widely adopted across data centers, WANs, and access networks and serves as a foundational element of an intent-based networking (IBN) architecture. This book provides a comprehensive understanding of SDN, including its applications, architectures, functionalities, virtualization, security, and privacy challenges.

SOFTWARE DEFINED NETWORKS (SDNs) offer a revolutionary approach to network architecture, providing a comprehensive and flexible framework for managing and configuring networks. SDNs have gained widespread adoption across data centers, WANs, and access networks, and are essential components of intent-based networking (IBN) architectures. While SDNs have traditionally focused on automated provisioning and configuration, IBN adds "translation" and "assurance" to automate the entire network cycle, aligning it with business needs. This book provides a comprehensive understanding of SDN-based networks as scalable distributed systems running on commodity hardware, covering applications, architectures, functionalities, virtualization, security, and privacy challenges. It is designed for researchers in software, IT, and electronic engineering, as well as industry engineers and technologists working in areas such as network virtualization, Python network programming, CISCO ACI, software defined network, and cloud computing.
