Make Flows Great Again: A Hybrid Resilience Mechanism for OpenFlow Networks
A top concern in Software-Defined Networking (SDN) is the management of network flows. The resource limitation in SDN devices, e.g., Ternary Content Addressable Memory (TCAM) size, and the signaling overhead between the control and data plane elements can impose scalability restrictions for a networ...
