An in-vehicle software defined network architecture for connected and automated vehicles

摘要

The expansion of communication networks has made the efficient configuration and management of these networks challenging. Software-defined networking (SDN) facilitates the rapid provisioning of network services, improved network visibility and programmability, network function vir-tualization, and reduced operational costs, to highlight a few benefits. Because of its capabilities, SDN has become popular among network service providers and in enterprise and cloud networks. The scale of these networks and the amount of data storage/transfer these networks support must be noted here. Also, the security of SDN is widely debated because a compromised network controller could pose a risk to the whole network.
