Khandaker Mohammad Mohi Uddin, Nayeema Islam, Jahanara Akhtar . Implementing AODV Routing Protocol in VANET using SDN. International Journal of Computer Applications. 175, 32 ( Nov 2020), 32-37. DOI=10.5120/ijca2020920878
Software-defined network (SDN) is a new network architecture that is more manageable, adaptable, dynamic and programmable. Though the control plane is separated from the forwarding plane and it is directly programmable these make the network to become fast and easy to manage. SDN technology increases network capability and shortens the network configuration and resource management for its programmable features. For forwarding functions and centralized control, SDN supports Open-Flow technology. There are two forms of routing protocols used in Vehicular ad hoc networks (VANET) such as Proactive routing protocol and Reactive routing protocol. The Reactive routing protocol shows the best performance than others when two communicating devices are linked with each other. In this work, Ad hoc On Demand Distance Vector (AODV) is implemented as a reactive routing protocol in SDN and analyzes the performance based on using the most essential quality of service (QoS) metrics. Moreover, it is found that for VANET in SDN architecture, the highest packet delay is inferior to other traditional network architectures and the packet transfer rate is also high.
