Research on the SDN-Based Architecture of Space-Sky Information Network
Dongming Yuan, Rong Wei Ren · Applied Mechanics and Materials · 2014
With the rapidly development of the space-sky information network, more and more satellites have been involved in the network. Adding the aerospace crafts which may be flexible and changeable, the network should be focused on the problem of heterogeneous compatibility and self-organizing network. The emerging Software Defined Networking may solve these problems. As the control plane and the data plane are separated in the architecture, the network can adapt to different protocols and can be flexible in equipment maintenance. In this paper, we propose an improving program of the space-sky network based on the SDN. This program can solve the existing problem of space network to some certain.
