Chen Guang Xu, Donghong Qin, Fanhua Song · 2022
The rise and development of software-defined networking (SDN) has brought a new development direction to the Internet. As a new network architecture, SDN has better flexibility and programmability than traditional network architectures, which brings new opportunities for the development of traffic management. In this paper, the development and trend of SDN are firstly introduced, and then some representative works of SDN in data center traffic management are analyzed. Finally, some research results related to traffic management based on the combination of SDN and artificial intelligence (AI) technology are expounded, and the challenges and development prospects of SDN traffic management are pointed out.
