Abstract
SDN (Software Defined Networking) is a new network paradigm that facilitates network management by separating network control logic from switches and routers. Obviously, the separation of the network policy and the hardware implementation help improve quality of service (QoS) provided by the network. Therefore, SDN is able to provide flexible QoS control and perform network resources allocation for multimedia and real-time applications.
This paper proposes a new approach for QoS providing in SDN. Based on its assets such as flow-level scheduling, QoS-based queueing and bandwidth reservation, the proposed approach aims to deliver fine-grained QoS management for Multimedia and real time applications. This approach is based on the classification of a flow in order to be assigned to an aggregation. An aggregation consists of gathering many flows together based on similar required QoS. Thus, All flows from the same aggregation are forwarded through a specific QoS-aware bearer. Each bearer is established through Multi Protocol Label Switching (MPLS)-based Label Switched Paths (LSP).
We evaluate the performance of our approach in SDN networks in terms of several metrics including throughput, End-to-End delay, packet loss rate and jitter. According to the experimental results, our approach is able to satisfy efficiently the required QoS for each kind of application and perform better than legacy SDN networks with no QoS support.
