Hi All, what is SDN? My understanding as follows. Traditional routers have their control plane and data plane are coupled together and will be used for communication. Control plane is brain for making decisions and data-plane is carrier/forwarder to transfer the packets. These 2 planes reside in the same hardware. Data-plane uses some powerful asics/processors for forwarding, but control plane is a software which decides the best entries to be inserted into routing table. With SDN, these 2 planes are divided into separate machines. There will be a control plane (server) who receives the messages from clients(control/data-plane) and processes.
Since quagga is control plane software which can act as Server and processes the messages. Please throw some pointers and uses/advantages/disadvantages about integration quagga for SDN. My most of the statements may be wrong, please correct if necessary. Regards, Srujan
