Past Before Future: A Comprehensive Review on Software Defined Networks Road Map

Software Defined Networking (SDN) is a paradigm that moves out the network switch2019;s control plane (routing protocols) from the switch and leaves only the data plane (user traffic) inside the switch. Since the control plane has been decoupled from hardware and given to a logically centralized software application called a controller; network devices become simple packet forwarding devices that can be programmed via open interfaces. The SDN2019;s concepts: decoupled control logic and programmable networks provide a range of benefits for management process and has gained significant attention from both academia and industry. Since the SDN field is growing very fast, it is an active research area. This review paper discusses the state of art in SDN, with a historic perspective of the field by describing the SDN paradigm, architecture and deployments in detail
