Abstract

With so many users and applications handled by the Internet infrastructure, the Internet has to evolve continuously to meet the requirement. Separation of control plane and management plane has been studies as a new architecture model in recent years by Internet community. Software Defined Network (SDN is just one of the most influential models in this field. But there lack the rigor formal analysis of the protocol behavior with SDN. In this paper, a formalization method with algebra to analysis SDN protocol is proposed. The method is self-contained and universal to any protocol analysis. With the method we can formally analysis the detail of SDN protocol to find the uncertain and shortcoming aspects.
