Software Defined Networking (SDN) was born as a solution for next-generation network design. Due to its flexible architecture, SDN promises to make network devices simpler while giving better centralized control ability over network and improving parameters such as flexibility, resilience, reliability, and security. In this paper, we briefly introduce the SDN architecture and the Floodlight Controller that is one of the popular SDN controllers. We build a web-based user interface for the Floodlight Controller by using REST API. This application is the first program in the Floodlight SDN Controller literature to view the controller upon several properties such as device connections and flow tables.

Abstract


Software Defined Networking (SDN) was born as a solution for next-generation network design. Due to its flexible architecture, SDN promises to make network devices simpler while giving better centralized control ability over network and improving parameters such as flexibility, resilience, reliability, and security. In this paper, we briefly introduce the SDN architecture and the Floodlight Controller that is one of the popular SDN controllers. We build a web-based user interface for the Floodlight Controller by using REST API. This application is the first program in the Floodlight SDN Controller literature to view the controller upon several properties such as device connections and flow tables.
