For more than three decades, the Virtual Local Area Network (VLAN) has been one of most popular systems virtualization groups users on both local and corporate networks. Because advantages that VLAN provides, network managers operators have continued to use it in creation their networks even extended its include cloud computing networking. Previous research studies established a lot issues asso...

Software defined networking (SDN) has been the buzzword among networking professionals since the last few years. The three tiered architecture of SDN promises to simplify the network management. Unfortunately, a significant amount of research that is going on in this field is focused on datacenter networks. The societal impact that this technology can bring about mostly in developing countries ...

The next generation of mobile networks has risen the expectations and has induced a whole new approach in the networking future. This study summarizes solutions, that meet all the existing requirements integrating Software Defined Network (SDN) and Network Function Virtualization (NFV) in mobile networking. The main contribution of this research activity is that it is a tool for literature refe...

Motivation. In a reliable SDN environment, different controllers coordinate different switches and backup controllers can be set in place to tolerate faults. This approach increases the challenge to maintain a consistent network view. Indeed, if this global view is not consistent with the actual network state, applications will operate on a stale state and potentially lead to incorrect behavior...
