Diseño de una guía teórica y práctica sobre redes definidas por software (SDN) para la Universidad Santiago de Cali

Abstract

Software-defined networking they are a set of communication techniques that have been developed for the construction of a network architecture that allows you to divide the control and the data for the production of programmable networks flexible and automated to increase its capabilities, independent of the physical infrastructure. Since the SDN are still at the stage of research and development, the best current option to experience its functionalities is to carry out a simulation of the network that you want to implement, through an emulator called Mininet, this being a software that creates a virtual network set to actual parameters. Engineering of the Universidad Santiago de Cali programs do not have in their curricula with topics where consideration the SDN, it therefore intends to develop a theoretical and practical guide to software defined networking that serves as a basis for future practices that are carried out. That way an installation and configuration guide accurate about Mininet explaining the development for establishing the initial connections to simulate, in addition to a document where the current theoretical framework related to the SDN is taught and ends with the practice of some generals of the Mininet commands, and CLI command line administration of switchs OpenFlow
