Design & Implementation of API Based Software Defined Networking Architecture

Software Defined Networking known as SDN appeared to provide automation across any network system. The SDN architecture is designed to build a flexible and manageable network comparing to traditional networking system. Besides, the SDN plays a vital role in network virtualization, cloud computing, mobility, and programmability to make an efficient network system whereas the traditional networking system has some limitations. In this paper, an SDN architecture has been proposed with API integration using python library on Linux based OpenDaylight framework. The comparative results show that the performance of the proposed SDN architecture is much better than traditional network architecture considering data flow, automated IP address generation, packet transmission consistency.
