Abstract :
In this paper we propose a new design and prototype implementation of a routing framework in Software Defined Network (SDN) environment. This framework features a logically centralized control plane by which users could easily manage and monitor their network. It exposes APIs to support various routing protocols and algorithms so as to integrate Open Flow network with homogeneous or heterogeneous networks. We also discuss the motivation, design considerations and potential use cases in this paper.
