Outline of Final Research Achievements

SDN technologies are commonly used to manage a single specific service platform. In this research, we aim to apply the SDN technologies to multi-scale network, that means multiple level networks such as multi-tenant data center network, large-scale wide area network or small edge networks.
One of the result of our research enables multiple tenant (user) networks are co-located on the top of the SDN platform managed by a data center provider or a cloud service provider with controlling their tenant network using SDN technology. Another result helps to manage large-scale network efficiently using SDN technology. It works to defend the large-scale network against the cyber-attacks, and also enables to balance the load of the control network of SDN.
The contribution of our research will benefit each tenant of the SDN platform to control their own network in flexible using the SDN technology which were mainly used under the management level.
