Análise de desempenho comparativo entre emulação, simulação e métodos híbridos para SDN
Resumo
Since its conception Software Definined Network had a great growth and adoption in several
areas, exploring and expanding more and more forms to use this technology. For development
of an application using OpenFlow protocol, some resources are needed as assets that
support it, controller and test environments that can be used as emulated, simulated or even
scheduling resources in a testbed. This work aims to explore the differences of implementation
and tradeoff between these well-known environments and the trade, pointing numbers
that are interesting to choose a method. The environments are comparable in performances
with links of low data transmission like 100MB and 1GB however it has a significant difference
in with links of 10GB, besides differences of modeling and particular use of each
one.
