Architecture of Segmentation Service of Software Defined Networks

Software defined networks (SDN) - is an innovative network architecture that provides centralized management of networks with a complex structure SDN consists of three layers: the infrastructure layer of network equipment, the network management layer (represented by SDN controllers) and the application layer. SDN controllers provide open programming interfaces that allow network applications to manage the network. Architecture and software implementation of the service for the development and implementation of SDN segmentation algorithms are proposed in paper. The aim of creating the presented service is to optimize the network resources usage through the use of an additional layer of abstraction - a layer of network segments.
