Book excerpt: The new emerging networking paradigm of Software Defined Networks, a solution that separates the network control plane from the data forwarding plane, has been the main focus of recently research works. Nevertheless, Traffic Engineering is an important problem to optimize the network performance, especially for a centralized controlled network such as the SDN, by dynamically analyzing, predicting, and regulating the behavior of data transmitted over that network. Therefore, a first version of a new TE management tool called TECS-SENNA - Traffic Engineering Control System for SDN/OpenFlow Networks - is being developed. The connection of TEs with the tool provides a dynamically and globally optimized network resource allocation in such a way that the overall performance can be improved, including throughput, latency, stability, and load balancing, while satisfying the per-flow QoS requirements.
