DEVELOPING UNIFIED MECHANISMS TO MOVE TOWARDS 5G THROUGH SOFTWARE-DEFINED NETWORKING

Software-Defined Networking is an approach to computer networks, which are programmable networks, allows network admins to manage network services through the perception of higher functionality. This architecture provides the cost-effective, dynamic, manageable, and adaptable, and suitable for the high bandwidth of data. This is a new idea of networking, which is commonly associated with the Open Flow protocol standards. This paper will elaborately explain the complete architecture of the SDN and the other alternative implementations of protocol standards and services of SDN. Furthermore, the future software applications of SDN and research issues will be studied. By comparing with historic perspective to recent developments, it will give the ideaof programmable networks. While showing the scenario the following must be noted
