Abstract
In the context of the emergent Software-Defined Networking (SDN) paradigm, the attention is mostly directed to the evolution of control protocols and networking functionalities. However, network professionals also need the right tools to reach the same level—and beyond—of monitoring and control they have in traditional networks. Current SDN tools are developed on an ad hoc basis, for specific SDN frameworks, while production environments demand standard platforms and easy integration. This survey aims to foster the definition of the next generation SDN management framework by providing the readers a thorough overview of existing SDN tools and main research directions.

Security in Software-Defined-Networking: A Survey
Security, Privacy, and Anonymity in Computation, Communication, and StorageAbstractWith the development of information and networking technologies, conventional network has been unable to meet the demands of practical applications and network users. A new network paradigm called Software-Defined Networking (SDN) was proposed and ...
A survey on OpenFlow-based Software Defined Networks
Software-Defined Networking (SDN) has been proposed as an emerging network architecture, which consists of decoupling the control planes and data planes of a network. Due to its openness and standardization, SDN enables researchers to design and ...
A survey on multi-layer IP and optical Software-Defined Networks
AbstractAs Software-Defined Networks become more and more popular, they start to appear in various architectures. The most common utilization of SDN is to control the network in the electric layers, including OSI/ISO layers 2 and above. ...
