Overview
A recent trend in computer networking is software defined networking (SDN), which separates the network’s control plane (the logic that defined forwarding behavior) from the data plane (the devices and technology that forward network traffic). We are involved in developing richer control models for software defined networking to support both dynamic events and middleboxes, as well as exploring various use cases of SDN in both the wide area and in home networks.
