Network Slicing in SDN Networks

Software Defined Networking is the candidate technology for implementing network slicing on a common network infrastructure for deploying a number of services with different requirements (e.g., 5G services). This work proposes a framework to deploy a set of network slices on an SDN network controlled by a single controller. Deployed slices guarantee isolation in terms of connectivity and performance. The proposed solution has been tested on an emulated SDN testbed utilizing the ONOS controller.
