A Comprehensive Review on SDN and VANETS Technology, Architecture and Security Implications

Abstract

Software-Defined Networking (SDN) stands as a pivotal method facilitating reliable interaction and operation of software in wireless environments. It is a centralized network system designed to intelligently control network management, enabling efficient bandwidth allocation, robust restoration mechanisms, and heightened security protocols. Within the realm of Mobile Communication, Vehicle Adhoc Network (VANET) services, including 4G/LTE, focus on enhancing road safety, traffic management, and optimizing traffic flow efficacy. This review amalgamates insights into the architecture, historical evolution, requisites, and the amalgamation of SDN and VANET technologies. It examines the tools within SDN technology, addresses challenges encountered within the SDN/VANET landscape, and underscores their collaborative efforts in ensuring the robustness, integrity, and authentication of broadband communication channels.
