Abstract

The rapid advancement of technology in today's world necessitates the development and deployment of robust and efficient networking architectures. This paper focuses on the relevant of creation and implementation of software defined networking (SDN) solutions for a university network, which offer improved network reachability and ease of navigation for network technicians. Utilizing the Ubuntu server command line interface within a virtual platform, all software defined networking components were seamlessly installed using a secure file transfer protocol client. To evaluate the effectiveness of the implemented SDN, Mininet was employed to supply OpenFlow switches within the software defined networking environment. This allowed for the integration of commands into a controller for thorough testing and assessment. The main parameters used in this paper are hosts, switches and a controller as the focus is on a single controller network. Because software defined networking centralizes and optimizes computer networks and removes irrelevant packets and frequent assaults for quick network performance, it makes networking intelligent and has several advantages over traditional networks. The successful implementation of software defined networking, as demonstrated in this paper, ensures that network technicians can swiftly identify and address challenges within computer networks of universities. This not only simplifies their tasks but also contributes to the overall efficiency and reliability of the network infrastructure.
