Software-defined networking (SDN) separates network control from network data forwarding, allowing networks to be programmed and centrally managed with standard protocols. SDN is an enabler of network virtualization, or the ability to run multiple virtual network topologies on a shared physical network.
The aim of this thesis was to study the functionalities of software-defined networks and practically develop the real-world resembling environment in the network emulator environment (GNS3) to evaluate the performance of different SDN components.
