Panel Session

Title: Performance issues in Software-Defined Networking

Summary

Recently, there have been an increasing number of research activities on how to benefit from IT advances to enhance network programmability in order to provide efficient and agile network control and to rapidly deploy new applications in heterogeneous networks through the separation between of the control plane from the data plane. The concept of Software-Defined Networking then arose, which additionally lean on the features offered by virtualization techniques. Such model is exemplified by OpenFlow, developed at Stanford University and promoted at the newly created Open Networking Foundation, gathering about 70 key industry players. Though such an approach looks attractive, its performance and scalability is still to be assessed. The panel will thus gather experts from industry, academia and standardization bodies to discuss performance and scalability issues coming up in the course of Network Virtualization, in the context of Software Defined Networking.

Moderator: Phuoc Tran-Gia, University of Wuerzburg, Germany

Panel members:

  • Prof. Anja Feldmann (T-Labs & Technical University Berlin)
  • Dr. Kohei Shiomoto (NTT Docomo Labs, Tokyo)
  • Prof. Deep Mehdi (University of Missouri, Kansas)
  • Prof. Wojciech Burakowski (Warsaw University of Technology)
