Abstract software defined network confederation architectural design

The evolution of mobile communication and its integration into our daily lives has led to a rapid increase in user data and new service innovations. The emergence of two new concepts Software Defined Network (SDN) and Network Function Virtualization (NFV) has radically changed the evolution of network functions and the evolution of network architectures. While these concepts are considered as drivers for designing low-cost cloud network architectures, limited attention has been paid to architectural designs based on the harmony between and within the network layers that do not create vendor dependency for the system to operate end-to-end. Open-source standards have been published to ensure interoperability, but the standards do not contain details for each use case, and operators do not want to take risks by implementing these standards as no customer support is provided. Because SDN architectural solutions developed by suppliers are designed for commercial purposes, they only work with their own hardware or associated equipment and these architectures are wholly or partly supplier dependent. Telecommunication companies are entering a vicious circle in their architectural designs. With 5G Technology offering more bandwidth, users of IoT (Internet of Things) increased and this increased the pressure of the vicious circle of telecommunication companies. In our study the cloud use case which solves the vendor dependence is exemplified, SDN Confederation architecture with Representational State Transfer Application Protocol Interface (REST API) and OpenFlow experimenter messages working in conformity between and within the layers are presented.
