Enhancing Multimedia Forwarding in Software- Defined Networks: An Optimal Flow Mechanism Approach
Pardeep Singh Tiwana, Jaspreet Singh · 2024
Software-defined networking (SDN) has revolutionized the way in which current modern networks are constructed. SDN offers dynamic and centralized administration resources that are available for the network, but multimedia traffic still a challenge on modern communication networks and it is very important to protect network systems that can reliably and effectively send multimedia data over the network form one end to another end. The goal of this new approach, which is called the Optimal Proposed Flow Mechanism (OPFM), is to make it easier for SDN (software-defined networking) devices to send multimedia data. This method of managing flow at the D-Plane involves the enforcement of device thresholds that are determined by the packet content of messages. By implementing this approach, not only are speed of response and computational efficiency improved, but processing delays are also reduced. The subsequent emphasis is on flow classification, which involves the categorization of incoming flows into delay-sensitive and nondelay-sensitive streams. A Non-Deep Lightweight Parallel Network (ND-LPN) is used for classification in software defined network and it has parallel layers that can manage flow delay limits, device efficiency, and service categorization. In the way to prevent packet loss while load balancing, this approach prioritizes flow classification in a computing efficient and latency-free manner. This means that traffic flow is sent to controllers according to their importance. The proposed method conducted in Network Simulator 3.2 and it makes the network work better by fixing flow management problems through more efficient methods for categorizing and transferring traffic in terms of network load and packet loss rate during flow forwardoing.
