TL;DR: This paper presents an in-depth analysis of the hardware infrastructure, southbound and northbound application programming interfaces (APIs), network virtualization layers, network operating systems (SDN controllers), network programming languages, and network applications, and presents the key building blocks of an SDN infrastructure using a bottom-up, layered approach.

TL;DR: Software-Defined Networking (SDN) as discussed by the authors is an emerging paradigm that promises to change this state of affairs, by breaking vertical integration, separating the network's control logic from the underlying routers and switches, promoting (logical) centralization of network control, and introducing the ability to program the network.

TL;DR: A novel multicast forwarding fabric suitable for large-scale topic-based publish/subscribe is proposed, and due to very simple forwarding decisions and small forwarding tables, the fabric may be more energy efficient than the currently used ones.

TL;DR: An overview of the basic and advanced probabilistic techniques is given, reviewing over 20 variants and discussing their application in distributed systems, in particular for caching, peer-to-peer systems, routing and forwarding, and measurement data summarization.

TL;DR: Minet-WiFi is introduced as a tool to emulate wireless OpenFlow/SDN scenarios allowing high-fidelity experiments that replicate real networking environments and elaborate on the potential applications of Mininet-Wifi and discuss the benefits and current limitations.
