Description
The increasing complexity of modern networks demands advanced solutions for efficient and adaptive topology management. Traditional networking approaches, characterized by their rigid and hardware-centric architectures, often fall short in addressing the dynamic requirements of contemporary networks. This paper introduces a novel approach to network topology management by leveraging the Open Network Operating System (ONOS), P4 Runtime, and BMV2 switches. ONOS, a scalable and distributed SDN controller, provides centralized control and a global view of the network, while P4 Runtime offers a protocol-independent interface to manage programmable data planes. BMV2, a versatile software switch, emulates the behavior of P4-programmable hardware, allowing for the development and testing of custom packet processing pipelines. This research lays the groundwork for future developments in programmable networks by bringing out the potential of combining SDN with P4-based data plane programmability to meet the evolving demands of modern network environments. 2025 IEEE.
