Application programming interfaces (APIs) Application programming interfaces (APIs) are medium to provide the details necessary for Software Defined Networks along with a highly robust and programmable infrastructure. APIs provide a path by which instruction sets can be sent to a device to program it. Software programmers can read API manual documentation to understand the device and then logically code the appropriate commands into their respective applications. With respect to SDN, APIs are broadly called "northbound" or "southbound," depending on their function they perform in the architecture. APIs which reside on a controller side and are used by SDN applications to send appropriate instructions to the controller platform are northbound, because all the communication takes place north of the controller. Southbound APIs of SDN reside on physical network devices such as switches. These APIs are used by the SDN controller to provide the network connectivity, with all the communication to and fro taking place south of the controller. [2] OpenFlow: The OpenFlow protocol is a key protocol in many SDN solutions. It is a standardized protocol for interacting with the forwarding behaviors of switches from multiple vendors. This provides us a way to control behavior of switches throughout our network dynamically and programmatically. In SDN the OpenFlow protocol has been implemented on both sides of the interface: network devices and control software. OpenFlow identifies network
amid this configuration we tend to look for guidance from them as data, control, and application planes. At base, the data plane is included system segments, whose SDN Data ways uncover their abilities through the Control-Data-Plane Interface (CDPI) Agent. On top, SDN Applications exist inside of the application plane, and impart their needs by means of northward Interface (NBI) Drivers. inside of the centre, the SDN Controller interprets these needs and applies low-level administration over the SDN Data ways, while giving pertinent data up to the SDN
as a device in its domain and sends the packet to the host or pushes the packet to the next

The Open Systems Interconnection (OSI) reference model is essential to the world of computer networking. The model was created in 1977 by the International Standards Committee, in response to a difficulty that was facing computer networkers at the time (Shelly, Cashman, and Serwatka 142). In order to understand the difficulty, one must first realize that computer networks consist of computer hardware, the software that is to be used in conjunction with this hardware, and the medium (such as wiring or cabling) that will interconnect the computing devices that are in the network. The computer networker’s job is to determine which hardware, software, and medium types will create the network that will
Brocade is fully invested in making SDN completely modular to deliver New IP networks based on an open ecosystem. The Brocade SDN Controller is continuously built from the OpenDaylight code, with a virtuous cycle of contributions back to the OpenDaylight community. Physical and virtual networks from multiple vendors can be managed within the Brocade SDN Controller, and organizations can gradually introduce ever-larger portions of their existing networks into the controller domain with single-source technical support for the entire
The proposed network uses UDP protocols, as to allow for constant data streaming between all clients and the server. An external ENet library inside the C++ code to allows for such protocols.
Network layer: The network layer is responsible for routing the datagrams to particular destination. It learns all the path to reach a particular destination and selects the best path to reach the destination. The IP Protocol stack has a lot of protocols like RIP, IGRP, BGP etc.
Software defined networking is a new concept that redefined the current network device architecture and the way they behave. Due to the exponential growth of the Internet and services attached to this worldwide infrastructure, a number of issues have cropped up in modern day networks. This paper discusses a few of these limitations and how the software defined networking approach tries to alleviate them. OpenFlow, released in the year 2008, is a commercially viable implementation of this concept that is being well received by the networking industry at large. The paper also discusses the OpenFlow protocol, its implementation and the challenges facing its widespread acceptance
OSI stands for Open Systems Interconnection; it is a reference model that provides a basis for interconnection of systems. It is an overall framework that forms the basis to define protocols. [1] OSI consists of 7 layers that can be divided into three subgroups; network support layers, user support layers, and layer 4 which links the upper and lower layers. The network support layers help in moving data from one device to another by taking care of physical connections, physical addressing, electrical specification, transport timings, etc. The user support layers help in interoperability among software systems that are different from each other. [1] Each layer is discussed in detail below.
Internet based Wide Area Network virtualization technologies, virtualized network functions, overlays, automation technologies, and virtual network appliance solutions must be implemented where applicable for all network layers to improve infrastructure agility, efficiency, and reduced power consumption and physical foot print.
Object Oriented: Java is a pure object oriented programming language where C++ is semi oriented. Basic concepts of object oriented program are object, class, inheritance, polymorphism, abstraction and encapsulation.
TCP/IP was developed during the 1960s as part of the Department of Defense’s (DoD) Advanced Research Projects Agency (ARPA) effort to build a nationwide packet data network. It was first used in UNIX-based computers in universities and government installations. Today, it is the main protocol used in all Internet operations. On the other hand, the Open Systems Interconnection model (OSI Model) is a conceptual model that characterizes the internal functions of a communication system by separating it into multiple abstract layers. The model is a product of the Open Systems Interconnection project at the International Organization for Standardization (ISO).
NetFlow is one of the networks technologies that need to be keep up rapidly. NetFlow is a network protocol developed to accumulate IP traffic data and monitor network traffic. Analyzing flow data, a picture of network traffic flow and volume can be built. Having a flow collector and data analyzer such as NetFlow, allows user to see where network traffic is coming and going to and how much traffic is being generated.
