Abstract

SDN (Software Defined Network) is the important part of Future Network, and the OpenFlow soft switch which separates the control plane from the data plane is the key instrument. While there is less research on the performance model of SDN, and also less research on experimental methods of performance test of future network. In this paper, in view of the current major performance defects of the model design, some test methods are designed to find out the impact of various factors on the performance of SDN, it is the basic experiment for establish the performance model. In this paper, the OpenFlow switch are analyzed, and the main performance parameters are throughput, packet loss and time-delay, the influence factors are load, packet size and the transforming packet quantity, the test expriment overcome the disadvantages of less parameters of current SDN performance model. In particular, the transmission packet quantity test method is designed, and influence of the transmission packet quantity is proposed in this paper firstly.
