Simulación de una red definida por software (SDN) para el control de acceso de los elementos de la red a nivel de capa 2.

Abstract

The following case study is divided into four chapters: the first describes the research to be carried out, such as the objectives set, the problem statement and the hypothesis to be analyzed. In the next chapter, the study of the art of SDN networks, the Open Flow protocol, as well as the types of controllers SDN is carried out, fundamental theoretical part for the design of the SDN network which is defined in chapter three, as well as all the necessary hardware and software tools to check its operation, as the last chapter there is the simulation, testing and analysis of the same in a network defined by software for access control of network elements at the layer 2 level. The type of research to be carried out is exploratory, for the collection of previous knowledge on SDN networks, descriptive because the object will be characterized study, applied since the knowledge obtained in the research will be used for the simulation of an SDN network for access control of the elements of the network at the level of layer 2, and cross-sectional since the results will be carried out at a defined moment and time. The methodology to be applied is the deductive - inductive method for the collection and characterization of the information, analytical - synthetic to decompose the main objective into several specific objectives, to finally collect the information and through synthesis find the solution to the problem, and with a quantitative approach with which through tests you want to obtain information on the functionality of one of its characteristics.
