Abstract
Large networks are always partitioned into several small networks when deploying software defined networks (SDN), and a dedicated network operating system (NOS) is deployed for each network. Each NOS has the local network view. However, to route data packets in an entire network, a global network is required. Thus, a high performance East-West Bridge with full mesh connection is proposed in this paper for heterogeneous NOSes to exchange network views in enterprise, data center, and intra-domain networks. We implemented the East-West Bridge and analyzed the performance obtained: about 100% of enterprises and data centers, and about 99.5% of autonomous systems can adopt the East-West Bridge solution.
