Abstract:

Global society, for years, has been witnessing natural disasters of different magnitudes. The integrated work of disasters response teams requires a huge capacity of information exchange in its networks. Software-Defined Network (SDN) has been applied in this context, mainly because it separates the control and the data planes of a network. This paper introduces middleware HAMRA, that elevates the level of abstraction of network traffic management in SDN networks applied in Public Safety Network context, based on Emergency Management's states. Its performance is evaluated from an emulated network, considering metrics as rules' install time and data overhead. The emulation shows that HAMRA responds effectively to the network state change, traveling essential control packets to configure SDN network, without inserting new packets, and so avoiding overload of data. These results make HAMRA a prototype and an initial reference for the evolution of SDN applied to Emergency Management.
