Research on IP Forwarding Efficiency of Reactive Switching Mode in Software Defined Network
Modern computer network technology has developed rapidly.SDN has the characteristics of separation of forwarding and control,flexible application and strong adaptability.It has been gradually accepted and adopted by IT manufacturers and telecom operators.However,SDN as a technology also has its shortcomings.This paper first analyzes the communication process of IP layer related protocols,and then compares the communication efficiency of these protocols with Ethernet for SDN's Reactive switch mode.The experiment and analysis show that the efficiency of SDN's Reactive switching mode is not dominant in the basic network behaviors such as address resolution,connectivity testing and data transmission,and needs further optimization.
