Software Defined Networking (SDN) for Aeronautical communications

✓ SDN is a promising technology. It can offer lots of benefit to Aerospace ✓ Network aligned with end application missions ✓ Network management, upgrade, reconfigurations and evolutions are made simple. ✓ Network virtualization is a great advantage ✓ Multiple network support (IP, ATN ) with minimal changes ✓ Managing policies without getting into the details of box level configurations ✓ Network Slicing for multiple domains ✓ Capability for end applications to configure network ✓ Real-time monitoring of Require Communication Parameters ✓ One of the biggest challenge for SDN is the robustness ✓ Centralized processing architecture is more vulnerable to single point failures.
