| Summary: | SDN (Software-Defined Networking) is a network architecture that facilitates
network configuration by equalizing the configuration from various brands of
devices such as switches, without having to learn the command language. In SDN,
there is a component called controller as the control center and includes many
switch using the OpenFlow communication protocol. Currently, OpenFlow has
been developed until version 1.4. Version 1.3 is the most widely used stable version.
OpenFlow devices can be a software such as Open vSwitch which is also called an
ideal SDN switch because it can be updated at any time, or in hardware form that
produced by vendors. However, not all hardware-based switches follow SDN
developments especially in terms of the OpenFlow protocol.
In this final project, we will discuss several hardware-based OpenFlow switch
brands both in terms of characteristics, configuration, performance, and vendor
services provided. This final project aims to provide recommendations for
OpenFlow switches based on testing the characteristics of switches. The
characteristics used as the main comparison of the switch are the OpenFlow
version, using a program created and integrated with the Open Daylight controller,
the Northbound REST API protocol, and library requests in Python. For
performance, switches are tested based on certain conditions including native
(traditional) mode and OpenFlow mode with two kinds of flow entries, action:
normal and inport-outport. The switches tested is a hybrid switch, because it can
operate using the two modes mentioned above. The switches tested manufactured
by Pica8, Aruba, and MikroTik vendors. Good hardware-based characteristics
OpenFlow switches support the most SDN features, have stable and equal
performance in both modes, complemented by responsive vendor services and
easily understood documentation. |
