Resumen:
The Software-Defined Networking paradigm establishes
a three-plane architecture that facilitates the deployment of network functions
and simplifies traditional network management tasks. However, this
architecture lacks an integrated or standardized framework for managing
the virtual, dynamic, and heterogeneous Software-Defined Networking environment
itself. Some investigations have addressed such shortage by
proposing different solutions that tackle specific management requirements
for particular technology instances. This isolated approach forces network
administrators to use multiple frameworks or to build their integrated tools
for managing the whole Software-Defined Networking environment. The diversity,
the continuous updating, and the restricted reuse and sharing of
management solutions increase the complexity and time to manage networks
based on the Software-Defined Networking paradigm. Therefore, this
thesis focuses on investigating an effective approach (i.e., in terms of time
and network traffic) for managing the virtual, dynamic, and heterogeneous
environment of Software-Defined Networks.
