Abstract:This paper presents the implementation of a cloud that is used for instantiating virtual machines with a set of tools typically used for configuring and simulating networks based on Software Defined Networking (SDN). In terms of infrastructure, a web application is developed and included in each instantiated virtual machine so that even a user with minimal knowledge about SDN can create simple networks to start experimenting with this new network architecture. Users interact with the web application through a web interface that allows to select a topology, numbers of hosts and switches and choose from a given set of SDN controllers (POX, RYU and Pyretic). Some results obtained with the cloud, web application and the created SDN are presented | ||
