Analysis of the Performance of Software Defined Networks (SDN) Versus Networks with TCP/IP Architecture

It is expected that the transfer speeds on average would rise from 39Mbps to 75.4Mbps. For this reason, the idea of implementing centralized networks, with easy administration and traffic management through policies, has become essential in recent years. Software-defined networks (SDN) and traditional TCPIIP architecture networks are two distinct approaches to network design and management. While TCPIIP architecture networks have been the norm for decades, SDN is a relatively new concept that promises to revolutionize network performance, flexibility, and scalability. In this work, the performance of SDN versus networks with TCPIIP architecture is analyzed and compared. In the analysis of the performance of software-defined networks and networks with TCPIIP architecture, it is predicted to have a favourable response in the evaluation of different metrics such as latency, jitter and bandwidth in both networks; but with better performance in the case of SDN networks.
