Currently, SDN is mainly used to improvethe flexibility and efficiency of datacenter networks, enterprise networks and wide-area networks(WAN). There also emerge somestudies that try to deploy SDN to inter-domain settings. In this article, we introduce the progress stages of inter-domain SDN andstudies related to each stage. Finally, we discuss the applications and challenges of inter-domain SDN.展开更多
