Experimental Evaluation of a SDN-DMM Architecture
[EN] Mobility management has become a great challenge due to the exponential growth in the
number of devices that can connect to home or visited networks, and the need for
providing seamless mobility in future generation networks. SDN-DMM (Software Defined
Network Architecture for Distributed Mobility Management) architecture has been proposed
[11], allowing to separate control and data planes, for the distributed mobility management
through bidirectional IP flows. This article reports on aspects related to the implementation of
SDN-DMM, conducted with metrics as packet loss, throughput and handover latency,
considered in a comparison involving traditional routing and SDN-DMM. The results show
the SDN approach not only provides the intrinsic benefits of SDN in comparison with
traditional architectures, but also deals with the distributed mode of mobility management in
heterogeneous access networks in a simplified and efficient wayThis work has been supported by: - FAP-DF ( “Fundação de Apoio `a Pesquisa do Distrito Federal ” ) – Brazil; - “Ministerio de Economía y Competitividad ”/Spain , through the “Convocatoria 2017: Proyectos I+D+I - Programa Estatal de Investigación, Desarrollo e Innovación, convocatoria excelencia” (Project TIN2017 -84802 -C2 - 1 -P).T.
