software-defined networking (SDN)?<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Software-defined networking (SDN) is a networking method that uses a software-based controller or application programming interface (API) to communicate with the underlying hardware infrastructure and direct traffic on the network.<\/p>\n<p>This model is different from traditional networks, which use dedicated hardware devices (i.e., routers and switches) to control network traffic. SDN can create and control virtual networks (or control traditional hardware) through software.<br \/>\nSDN architecture<\/p>\n<p>The <a href=\"https:\/\/cciedump.spoto.net\/blog\/new-knowledge-points-of-certified-exam-what-is-software-defined-networkingsdn_298.html\"><strong>SDN<\/strong><\/a> architecture comprises three layers: application layer, control layer, and infrastructure layer.<\/p>\n<p>There is no doubt that the SDN application layer contains typical network applications or functions, such as intrusion detection systems, load balancing, or firewalls. Traditional networks use dedicated devices, such as firewalls or load balancers, while software-defined networks replace appliances with applications that use controllers to manage data plane behavior.<\/p>\n<p>The SDN architecture divides the network into three different layers; applications use northbound APIs to communicate with the control layer. The control layer uses southbound APIs to communicate with the data plane. The control layer is considered to be the brain of SDN. The intelligence of this layer is provided by centralized SDN controller software. The controller resides on the server and manages policies and traffic throughout the network. The physical switches within the network constitute the infrastructure layer.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-2821\" src=\"https:\/\/cciedump.spoto.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/sdn-1.jpg\" alt=\"SDN architecture\" width=\"414\" height=\"352\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cciedump.spoto.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/sdn-1.jpg 572w, https:\/\/cciedump.spoto.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/sdn-1-300x255.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 414px) 100vw, 414px\" \/><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_SDN_works\"><\/span><strong>How SDN works<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>SDN is an orchestration of multiple technologies internally. The use of well-defined APIs for network virtualization and automation is a crucial factor. Functional separation increases value by reducing dependencies.<br \/>\nA knowledge packet arrives at a network switch in a classic SDN scenario, and rules built into the switch&#8217;s proprietary firmware tell the switch where to forward the info packet. These packet processing rules are sent from the central controller to the switch.<\/p>\n<p>The switch (also called the info plane device) queries the controller for guidance as required and provides the controller with information about the traffic it handles. All data packets of hosts with the same destination are processed similarly and forwarded by the switch along the same path.<\/p>\n<p>The virtualization aspect of SDN works through the virtual overlay, which is a logically independent network on the physical network. To segment network traffic, end-to-end coverage can be achieved. Therefore, users can also abstract the underlying network. This micro-segmentation is particularly useful for service providers and operators with multi-tenant cloud environments and cloud services. They can provide each tenant with a separate virtual network with specific policies.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"In_conclusion\"><\/span><strong>In conclusion<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>SDN represents the path to more general network hardware and more open software.
