A Programmable and Managed Software Defined Network

Software Defined Networking is a paradigmshifting technology in the field of computer networking. It empowers network administrators by giving them the ability to manage the network services through abstraction of the low-level network functionalities. This technology simplifies networking and makes it programmable. This paper presents an implementation of this new paradigm of networking, which can replace the currently existing legacy networking infrastructure to provide more control over the network, perform a better analysis of the network operation and hence program the network according to the needs of the network administrator. This implementation also empowers the network administrators to provide Quality of Service to its users that are connected to the network and uses the services of the network. Therefore, it benefits both the network administrator and the users. Also, the ping latency in the network is reduced by 5-10%, and the number of packets in is reduced by 60-70% in the solution developed depending on the size of the network.
