The Inter-Datacenter Connection in SDN and Traditional Hybrid Network

Abstract:

With the extensive application and continuous growth of big data, new challenges are imposed into network design. Without enough consideration of big data in traditional design, bottleneck problems will occur frequently in such IT infrastructure. SDN (Software Defined Network) is one of the solutions to conquer such problems. However, most current SDN applications are limited to pure SDN structure or internal data centers. Differently, we focus on the traffic transmission between data centers in this paper. We construct the WAN links between data centers through VPN based on SDN architecture and traditional network. Both theoretical analysis and experiment results show that SDN had advantage over traditional network. Our work also suggested SDN architecture and traditional network could coexist in the real condition.
