“Análisis comparativo de infraestructuras de redes SDN (software defined networking) y redes tradicionales IP”

Abstract

ABSTRACT

This article shows a comparative analysis of SDN network infrastructure and traditional IP networks to act out these networks and determine the advantages and performance costs of the networks. The objectives of this study were a). Conduct a theoretical study on the SDN networks architecture, management tools, protocols, and controllers, b). To design a test environment for a basic ISP and SDN network, c). Evaluate the performance of the network through the settings that allow the equipment connection. A qualitative approach was used in this research for describing the characteristics of the network equipment which involve Mikrotik Routerboard, computers, OpenFlow, Wimbox, virtual machines. They are interconnected and set up to provide internet service. The results showed the execution parameters, infrastructure, reuse, virtualization, rules applied to the basic ISP networks and SDN networks. Finally, both the obtained results and the conclusions will be discussed based on the raised objectives.

Keywords: software-defined networks, virtualization, traditional network.
