This paper demonstrates the physical and logical topological slicing in computer networks through Software Defined Networks (SDN) with the added benefit of data privacy. To deal with the complex requirements of the modern networks, a sudden re-configuration of a network is often required. Modern applications require the configuration of networks on a fly and according to dynamically changing requirements, but the conventional solutions need to configure each and every device locally. The real time requirements are dynamic and the conventional network configuration is static in nature. SDN provides a better option by enabling the programmable interfaces on network hardware and a centralized control. Based on an emulated topology, this paper presents the physical and logical topology slicing under a centralised control by using SDN with no need of the local configuration of network elements.
