Abstract


With the emergence of recent technologies in the field of computer network, traditional infrastructure in the field of networks have become obsolete and incompatible with respect to the new architectures of open networks that emerge with force. This is how software-defined networks emerge by enabling cloud computing ecosystem, enterprise data centers, and telecommunications service providers. The major contribution of this paper is the simulation of an ecosystem based on a software defined network by making use of certain types of networks topologies and using the virtualization of the open network operating system (ONOS) and Mininet as a network emulator.
