SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR DYNAMIC PEER DETECTION IN A SOFTWARE DEFINED NETWORK

摘要

A system for dynamically detecting a peer node in a software defined network (SDN) comprises a processor of a node of an SDN. The processor is adapted to: receive over the SDN a first data packet originating from a source entity and addressed to a target entity; send a centralized controller of the SDN a request to configure the SDN according to certain network forwarding settings; and forward the first data packet over the SDN according to the certain network forwarding settings.
