software defined networking

 Software-Defined Networking (SDN) is an architectural approach to networking that separates the control plane from the data plane, providing centralized control and programmability to network management. In traditional networking, control functions and forwarding functions are tightly coupled in network devices like routers and switches. However, in SDN, the control plane is abstracted from the underlying hardware and implemented as software.


In an SDN architecture, there are three main components:

  1. Data Plane: The data plane consists of network devices such as switches, routers, and access points. These devices are responsible for forwarding network traffic based on instructions received from the control plane.

  2. Control Plane: The control plane is the brains of the SDN architecture. It consists of one or more controllers that have a global view of the network and make decisions about how network traffic should be forwarded. Controllers communicate with the data plane devices using a standardized protocol like OpenFlow.

  3. Southbound and Northbound APIs: The southbound API is used to communicate between the control plane and the data plane. OpenFlow is one of the most common southbound APIs used in SDN. The northbound API, on the other hand, allows external applications or services to interact with the SDN controller to control and manage the network programmatically.

  Centrality Network Centrality in a network refers to the measure of the importance or significance of a node (or sometimes an edge) within that network. It helps identify which nodes play crucial roles in various network processes such as information flow, influence propagation, or resource allocation. Centrality measures are commonly used in network analysis, including social networks, transportation networks, biological networks, and more. There are several types of centrality measures, including: Degree Centrality: This is the simplest centrality measure and is based on the number of connections a node has. In a social network, it would represent how many friends a person has. Nodes with higher degrees are considered more central.   Closeness Centrality: This measure quantifies how quickly a node can reach all other nodes in the network. It is based on the length of the shortest paths from a node to all other nodes. Nodes with shorter average path lengths are considered m...

1st Edition of International Research Awards on Network Science and Graph Anlaytics, 27-28 April, London(United Kingdom)

Image
The International Conference on Network Science and Graph Analytics (NSGA) is an annual event that brings together researchers, practitioners, and industry experts from around the world to share their latest research and developments in the fields of network science and graph analytics.  These awards are typically presented by professional societies, academic organizations, and industry associations that are focused on Network Science and Graph Analytics. Some of these awards are specifically aimed at recognizing early career researchers, while others honor lifetime achievements in the field. Nominees for these awards are evaluated based on their research contributions, scientific impact, and the quality and relevance of their work. The awards often include a cash prize, a certificate, and an invitation to give a keynote speech or present their research at a conference or workshop. They provide researchers with international recognition and prestige, which can enhance their career ...
