Software Defined (SDN) Based Internet of Things (IoT) networks

Abstract

The exponential growth of IoT devices connected to the Internet has led to the need to develop a new technology for managing them. The challenges posed by the implementation of IoT networks have emerged in the control and management of IoT applications and networks that become difficult to maintain, the programming of IoT devices. In addition, IoT devices are not designed to allow centralized management and control. Things get even more complicated when the IoT administrator has to manually configure all distributed IoT devices to add each new feature to the network. Software-Defined Networking - SDN solves existing network-level problems by providing the ability to build increasingly complex IoT-based systems in a simpler and more flexible manner. The paper aims to detail the evolution of SDN and IoT networks and an analysis of the benefits and challenges of SDN and IoT integration.
