Abstract

A survey of software-defined networking (SDN), which is an architecture and design methodology for designing programmable networks. Such programmable networks offer great flexibility. The classic Internet architecture is compared with SDN architecture. The development of SDN is examined. The popular OpenFlow architecture is discussed. A brief listing of SDN standardization groups is included.
