PERFORMANCE ANALYSIS OF SOFTWARE DEFINED NETWORK CONCEPTS IN NETWORKED EMBEDDED SYSTEMS

Abstract Details

2017, Master of Science in Engineering, University of Akron, Electrical Engineering.
Software-Defined Networks (SDN) have been introduced for wired networks that typically have point-to-point connectivity between nodes. The main idea in this approach is to separate the control plane and the data plane in order to allow users to programmatically change the networking capabilities of the system. This investigation focused on understanding how SDN concepts could be applied in a networked embedded systems environment where the nodes have limited capabilities and the wireless links have limited bandwidth. The goals were to realize the benefits of SDN while maintaining the network’s topology and connectivity. A SDN controller was implemented on BeagleBone Black Board and interfaced with a networked embedded system via a sink node. The approach was validated through simulations and xperiments based on a physical testbed in multiple scenarios. In the future, the design can be extended to a fully capable Wireless-SDN system for use in a variety of applications such as Healthcare Systems, Internet of Things and Advanced Manufacturing Systems.
