A Framework for Application-aware Networking by Delegating Traffic Management of SDNs
Hamidreza Almasi, Hossein Ajorloo

TL;DR
This paper proposes a framework that integrates network applications into traffic management in SDNs, enabling application-aware QoS control through a prototype API using OpenFlow and OVSDB.
Contribution
It introduces a novel framework that allows applications to directly participate in traffic management in SDNs, enhancing resource allocation and QoS.
Findings
Prototype API for flow bandwidth reservation implemented
Application-aware traffic management demonstrated
Improved QoS control through integrated framework
Abstract
Presence of a logically centralized controller in software-defined networks enables smart and fine-grained management of network traffic. Generally, traffic management includes measurement, analysis and control of traffic in order to improve resource utilization. This is done by inspecting corresponding performance requirements using metrics such as packet delay, jitter, loss rate and bandwidth utilization from global network view. There has been many works regarding traffic management of software-defined networks and how it could help to efficiently allocate resources. However, the vast majority of these solutions are bounded to indirect information retrieved within the border of ingress and egress switches. This means that the three stage loop of measurement, analysis and control is performed on switches in between this border while the traffic flowing in network originates from…
