Performance analysis of VANET simulation on software defined network

The rapid technology development in the transportation system is urgently needed today along with increasing number of vehicles. Vehicular Ad-Hoc Network (VANET) has been viewed as one of the enabling technologies that provide a wide variety of services such as vehicle road safety, enhancing traffic efficiency, reducing the level of accident and road congestion. In this paper, the authors demonstrate how VANET could be simulated on Software Defined Networking (SDN) emulator which is Mininet Wi-Fi and then measure the simulation performance namely delay, throughput, and packet drop between vehicles. Full reachability between vehicles has been performed between the connected vehicles for the same Road Site Unit (RSU) and between two different RSUs.
