Towards a Scalable and Near-Sighted Control Plane Architecture for WiFi SDNs
Abstract
Not much is known today about how to reap the SDN benefits in WiFi networks—a critical use case given the increasing importance of WiFi networks. This paper presents AeroFlux, a scalable software-defined wireless network, that supports large enterprise and carrier WiFi deployments with low-latency programmatic control of fine-grained WiFi-specific transmission settings. This is achieved through AeroFlux’s hierarchical design. We report on an early prototype implementation and evaluation, showing that AeroFlux can significantly reduce control plane traffic.
