Keywords:
Software-Defined Networking, SDN, Centralized Control, Network Architecture, Cloud Networking, NFV, Network Security, Programmability, OpenFlow, InteroperabilityAbstract
Software-Defined Networking (SDN) introduces a fundamental shift in network design byseparating the control logic from the data forwarding functions, enabling centralized,programmable control This decoupling allows network administrators and engineers to managedynamic network behavior more efficiently, driving improvements in automation scalability,and security.
