文摘Software defined networking （SDN） achieves network routing management with logically centralized con- trol software that decouples the network data plane from the control plane. This new design paradigm greatly emancipates network innovation. This paper introduces the background of SDN technology with its design principles, explains its differentiation, and summarizes the research efforts on SDN network architecture, components and applications. Based on the observation of current SDN development, this paper ana- lyzes the potential driving forces of SDN deployment and its future trend.
