The growing internet network has led to the more complex design, management, and operational. The situation is getting harder because there are various protocol and hardware used in the networks. In order to overcome an easier network management and to obtain a better scalability, Software Defined Network (SDN) is used. SDN gives solution by applying an centralized network technology and separating the control plane and the data plane. The communication between the planes are controlled using the OpenFlow Protocol. This research using the POX Controller which is integrated with Mininet to do the simulation of SDN network in Politeknik Caltex Riau. In this SDN network two components, hub and switch, are compared.
