SDN/NFV Sudanese Research Group Initiative
IEEE SUDAN Introductory Session
The power of GROUP
Define the problems to be tackled and the questions to be answered. Guide the research into directed topics and interpret the results in terms of
their significance for community ,policy change and industry demands. Disseminate findings and enrich the scientific and industry communities.

Software Defined Networking Network Functions
Virtualization
Software Defined Networking A new networking paradigm, Where the forwarding hardware (i.e. network devices as legacy routers and switches) is decoupled from the control plane i.e. the routing protocols and control software.
o Programmabilityo Flexibility o Scalabilityo Vendor-independencyo Standardization of application programming interfaces
SDN Architecture
SDN Applications
Quality of Service Congestion aware-routing Content aware-routing Security IoT/WSN
Network Functions Virtualization
NFV is to virtualize (known also as network softwarization) a set of network functions by deploying them into software packages, which can assembled and chained to create the same services provided in legacy networks.
o Build end-to-end infrastructureo Flexibility & scalabilityo Enable network functions on general purpose computing/storage
platforms.o Horizontal and vertical chaining
