A Network Management Framework for SDN

Software Defined Networking (SDN) is a networking technology that caught the interest of many researchers and specialists in the field. The attention that SDN management obtained wasn't any less since traditional techniques were no longer sufficient for managing this new concept, and fully exploiting the flexibility and agility introduced with it. The purpose of this paper is to survey techniques used for network management for Software Defined Networks, and build on the FCAPS (Fault, Configuration, Accounting, Performance, Security) model to propose a new management framework to serve SDN orchestration. Results showed an improvement of 27.5% for our proposed design as compared to the Controller-only and Manager-only scenarios.
