Escalabilidade do plano de controle de redes openflow

Abstract

Software defined networks represent an evolution in the operation of computer networks. Conducting experiments in networks becomes simpler, and makes room for creation of new services. The Main software defined networks focus are applications running on the control plane. These applications perform control, and implement services offered by the network. The control plane is the heart of the network, since decisions on the operation of the network are your responsibility. The scalability of the control plane is limited by factors such as number of connections supported by the controller, number of entries in flow table, the amount of data transported secure channel, among others. We seek to minimize the amount of entries in the table flows as a way to improve scalability.
