SDN Cluster Constructor: Software Toolkit for Structures Segmentation of Software Defined Networks

Abstract

At present days innovative approaches based on the technology of software defined networks (SDN) are widely used in organizing of work of computer networks (CN). The advantages of applying the SDN principles in various types of networks, the unification of heterogeneous environments and the wide range of applications offered by SDN technology demonstrate a very high potential for its commercialization in the networks of cloud service providers, operators of wired and mobile communications. The aim of this work is developing of software toolkit SDN Cluster Constructor for structures segmentation of SDN. In the work universal architecture of software toolkit SDN Cluster Constructor is proposed. It allows connecting various OpenFlow controllers to the software infrastructure by using the REST API interface. The description of architecture of the SDN Cluster Constructor is executed on the basis of UML class diagrams. Authors focus on the organization of network interaction between the server and client parts of the SDN Cluster Constructor.
