Abstract

Presently, there are various objects that influence the Internet architecture and engrave it in stone, which is called calcification of the Internet. The deployment of Internet Protocol version 6 IPv6 and the difficulties of IP multicast services are large obstacles. The inner and outer domains for the high-speed availability of routing provide end-to-end user connectivity and allow the dynamic management of QoS in upcoming applications of network resources. For example, virtualization of the network, cloud computing, and data center are required by the future-generation architecture of the Internet, which is called the Software-Defined Network (SDN). The separation of the control plane from the forwarding device plane is difficult given the distributed control plane in the present network. According to the prediction of researchers, more than 50 billion objects will connect to the Internet in 2020. This concept is called IoT (Internet of Things). In this scenario, SDN plays a vital role in decreasing the physical network compared to the virtual network, both performance- and efficiency-wise.
In this paper, we compare different framework architectures of SDN that are being used in distributed cloud-based environments on the basis of multiple parameters and we determine which framework architecture is best for the exponential growth in the number of Internet devices from the perspective of IoE in cloud- and grid-based environments.
