Deployment and Evaluation of Software-Defined Inter-Connections for Multi-domain Federated SDN-Cloud
Aris Cahyadi Risdianto, Jun-Sik Shin, Jong Won Kim · 2016
In this paper, we describe an on-going experimental effort to inter-connect and federate distributed SDN-cloud resources that are spread over separate administrative domains. The proposed Software-Defined Inter-Connections utilizes the mixture of tunnel-based overlay virtual networking and BGP-leveraged routing exchange for multi-domain-federated SDN-cloud. By leveraging SDN paradigm, the deployed prototype for Software- Defined Inter-Connections can enable mixture layer 2 and layer 3 inter-connection with flexible selection. The evaluation result shows the resemblance performance for layer 2 and layer 3, as well as the switchover between them.
