Network Slicing On Software Defined Network Using Flowvisor and POX Controller To Flowspace Isolation Enforcement

Software defined network (SDN) is becoming more and more popular due to its feature such as programming control, centralize monitoring, fine-grained control, flexibility, multitenant support and scalability. Problems with the previous architecture called traditional network like network device configuration process is done one by one, decentralize control, and on multitenant support there are still problem for enforcement tenant, the tenants cannot manage their own network without being disturbed by other tenants. This study aims to perform network slicing on SDN to enforce isolation between tenants by using flowvisor and POX Controller. For isolation in this study is flowspace is part of the flowvisor that is able to enforce network isolation. Network slicing method used to multitenant support on SDN. To achieve the research objectives, two types of tenants were used and two testing processes were carried out namely connectivity testing and functionality testing. In both tests, network quality tests were also carried out by calculating the Quality of Service (QoS). The results of the study show that the flow visor can be implemented for isolation enforcement, and results of Quality of Services is good for both testing process. The conclusion from the study is that the use of Flowvisor to enforce Flowspace can slice network to support multi-tenants because each tenant can use their own slice and is not disturbed by other slices. For future study, can be increased the number of slices and is expected to be tested in the real environment.
