QoS in NaaS (Network-as-a-Service) Using Software Defined Networking

  • Chapter
  • First Online:

Abstract

Network-as-a-Service (NaaS) is one of new and promising cloud service models, through which the network infrastructure is offered to cloud customers as a service. Quality of Service (QoS) criteria play a significant role in the Service Level Agreement (SLA) for pricing and evaluation. This chapter describes NaaS service model and focuses on QoS criteria and issues in NaaS as well as for networking in general. A description about Software Defined Networking (SDN) has been presented, this promising network paradigm, which is considered one of programmable network designs, that depends on decoupling the control and data planes in order to achieve easier manageable networks. Finally, a deep research about applying a QoS policy in cloud and normal networks using SDN has been conducted, that shows the main categories for achieving the required QoS level. Their advantages and disadvantages have been mentioned, which in turn helps in choosing the best model according to multiple factors: the current network hardware, the traffic data type, the budget, etc.
