Simulating resilient server using software-defined networking
Idris Winarno, Yoshiteru Ishida · 2016
Computer (server) becomes an essential part of the information system. However, this server always has a possibility to experience a failure. In our previous study, we involve virtual machine technologies to address the failure that occurs on the server. However, this method only covers the recovery of the server from the perspective of the server itself. Our proposed method is to use the concept of software-defined networking to overcome the failure by involving network devices (e.g., switches). The experiment result shows that the concept of SDN is able to maintain the resilience of the server by interrupting the suspicious traffic.
