| Abstract | ||
| Software-Defined Network (SDN) is one of the most predominant technologies for networking in the existing and next-generation networks. SDN can conFig. , control, protect, and optimize network resources through software. The fundamental benefit of SDN is enabling the application of dynamic management. In addition, the literature shows that partitioning a Software-Defined Wide Area Network (SD-WAN) into several logical networks efficiently will optimize its performance. The main aim of paper is to design an algorithm to slice SD-WAN dynamically into several virtual networks according to the server-clients’ correlation using the Virtual Local Area Network (VLAN). The several virtual networks improve QoS of SD-WAN and reduce its broadcasting domain. The proposed framework consists of two parts. The first part is the management algorithm that finds the best server for each client; then it groups this server with their client in a dedicated logical network. The second part includes creating a VLAN for each logical network in an SD-WAN. The application of the POX controller calculates and maintains the dynamic VLAN, which will be applied by the control plan to slice the topology in the data plan. SD-WAN topology is tested before and after applying VLANs. The results show enhancement in latency by 42.85%, throughput by 4.61%, loss packet by 72% and jitter by 47.86% after applying VLAN. Finally, the greatest gain is reducing the broadcasting ratio by 77.77%. | ||
