Abstract
The software defined networking (SDN) is a networking technique to disintegrate control plane and data (forwarding) plane in the network, allows use of open protocols to control network switches and routers using software controls and abstract infrastructure as per application and network services requirements. This makes it possible to implement network management and control through software. Word software means that network devices are programmable but software is not controlling everything centrally. This approach helps to achieve network and infrastructure manageability, control plane modularity, cost-effectiveness, generalized data planes and adaptable network, making virtualization easy to implement, as per need of an hour. The SDN yields a network infrastructure which will be programmable. This inherently qualifies for control to be shifted to software and network flow with network devices to be operated by software programs. A network engineer must now be able to re-program instead of re-build the network infrastructure manually. The following sections explain terminologies, working, and operations related to SDN. This paper helps readers to gain understanding and overview of SDN.
