Performance analysis of software-defined networks versus networks with TCP / IP architecture

Abstract:

Nowadays companies produce large amounts of traffic, which causes their services to not work properly. Therefore, networks that are capable of supporting these amounts of traffic are needed. The purpose of this article is to analyze the performance of software-defined networks (SDN) and networks with TCP / IP architecture. Two test scenarios were proposed for the networks and metrics such as latency and jitter were evaluated. In addition, the traffic generated in the second scenario was analyzed. As a result, it was obtained that statistically the minimum and average latency values were equal because there was no significant difference; but at the maximum latency the SDN network performed better. Regarding the evaluation of the jitter, it was concluded that the SDN and TCP / IP networks statistically had similar values and only in a few tests was there a difference between values.
