Development of SDN Controller Testbed Using Rasberry Pi 4

Abstract

Nowadays, people are living in a ‘internet of things’ world. Everything can be programmed over network and no longer depended on hardware and human interaction to transfer data. Software Defined Network (SDN) is one of the creations of this new kind of world which programmed efficient network configuration that improve network performance and monitoring, which will lessen the hassle of configuring devices. By focusing to SDN, this project will study the performance of SDN by Controller Testbed using Raspberry Pi done to measure the network performance efficiency by the parameter of TCP and UDP throughput. The main purpose of this research project is to Develop SDN Controller testbed using Raspberry Pi 4 by using TCP and UDP throughput as the main metric measurement. The hardware used is Raspberry Pi 4 and Raspberry Pi 3, and the tools used is called JPERF will be used to measure the throughput of TCP and UDP. The result from this test conclude that Raspberry Pi 4 are suitable and compatible hardware to conduct SDN network. From the result, we may know what the difference of network performances of SDN in Raspberry Pi 4, which resulting that Raspberry Pi 4 is more compatible than Raspberry Pi 3. This project also prove that Raspberry Pi 4 can support SDN network.
