Abstract

The Software-Defined Networking (SDN) paradigm brings flexibility to network management and it enables to reduce the energy consumption of the networks. However, deploying a set of SDN controllers to manage a Wide Area Network is still a challenge as it implies to determine the right number of controllers to install and their location within the network. Besides, this chapter advocates that SDN can also be leveraged for the reduction of energy consumption in a network of data centers.
