Abstract


Testbed on designs with in Software Defined Networks are traditionally performed in virtualized and emulated environments, however the results do not faithfully represent the real environment. Manufacturers have provided closed platforms in which the designer of networks becomes dependent on this implementation. This paper provides a comparative analysis of performance between three open platforms shipped in shelf equipment and native closed platform. The results show similarity in the throughput and CPU consumption, however the open platform presented in this paper significantly outperforms in programmability.
