Abstract: The present disclosure pertains to systems and methods for selectively encrypting data flows within a software defined network (SDN). In one embodiment, a communication device may be configured to receive a plurality of unencrypted data packets. The communication device may receive from an SDN controller a criterion used to identify at least one of the unencrypted data flows to be encrypted. Based on the criterion, an encryption subsystem may generate an encrypted data flow the unencrypted data packets based on an encryption key. In some embodiments, the encryption system may parse the packets and encrypt the data payloads without encrypting the routing information associated with the packet. In other embodiments, the encryption subsystem may be configured to encapsulate and encrypt the entire unencrypted data packet. In some embodiments, the encryption subsystem may further be configured to authenticate a sending device and/or to verify the integrity of a message.

Abstract: A method for controlling a user data flow in an SDN controller of an SDN network includes retrieving user profile information from a user information database via an Ss interface with the user information database; controlling a data flow of a user based on the user profile information. The SDN controller is enabled to have a capability of obtaining user profile information through a newly added interface between the SDN controller and the user information database, such that the SDN controller may control a user data flow based on the user profile information.

Abstract: Technical solutions for optimization of network resources are described. One general aspect includes a method, including measuring, by a controller, an attribute of network route being used to communicate a network flow between a first apparatus and a second apparatus. The method also includes comparing, by the controller, a predetermined threshold and the attribute. The method also includes in response to the attribute being non-compliant with the predetermined threshold, selecting, by the controller, an alternative network route to communicate the network flow between the first apparatus and the second apparatus. The method also includes routing, by the controller, the network flow to be communicated via the alternative route between the first apparatus and the second apparatus.

Abstract: Traffic is conveyed in a communications network by a homogeneous transport network from edge nodes located at edges of the homogeneous transport network to at least one processing center (D-center, C-center) located at an edge of the homogeneous transport network. The at least one processing center processes the traffic and controls and forwards traffic to be further conveyed to the edge nodes.

Abstract: A process capable of facilitating network communication using forwarders or vforwarders interconnected via an overlay network is disclosed. The process, in one aspect, is able to receive a packet stream or network traffic from a customer premise equipment (“CPE”) using a point-to-point (“PTP”) connection via the overlay network. After identifying a service component able to provide a network function (“NF”) in accordance with the packet stream, at least a portion of the packet stream is forwarded to the service component via a second PTP connection through the overlay network according to a set of predefined requirements. Upon receipt of a processed packet stream in response to the packet stream from the service component, the processed packet stream is forwarded to another forwarder via a hop-to-hop (“HTH”) link through the overlay network in accordance with the processed packet stream.

Abstract: An embodiment first network node has a data flow table identifying forwarding rules to be applied to incoming data packets. The first network node is configured to allow for manipulation of the data flow table via control messages received via a control connection to a controller. The first network node is further configured to determine an occurrence of a network event or compliance with a condition specified by the controller. The first network node is further configured: to establish a control connection to a second network node in case that the network event occurs or the condition is met and to exchange control messages with the second network node via the control connection.

Abstract: The described embodiments provide techniques and architectures for enabling interoperability between legacy network systems and Software Defined Networking (SDN) systems. The embodiments add functionality to an SDN system to support interworking between an SDN controlled network, and a legacy network. When upgrading a legacy system to SDN, it may not be possible to upgrade all network components at once. The described embodiments facilitate the use of legacy network components together with SDN system components, by adding new functionality to the SDN data plane elements and control plane elements. The SDN forwarding network elements (NEs) terminate the physical links carrying legacy protocols that include combined data traffic and control information. The new functionality within the SDN forwarding NEs includes processing none or some of the control messages from a legacy NE within an SDN forwarding NE, and then forwarding the remaining control messages to the controller under which that particular SDN forwarding NE is subtended.
