Abstract : Software Defined Networking (SDN) has brought about a revolutionary shift in network management and control. The driving force behind SDN's development is the need for enhanced network programmability and scalability to accommodate rapidly changing applications and services. By decoupling the control plane from the data plane, network managers gain centralized control and programmability over resources. This study explores the architecture, encompassing application, control layer, and data layer, while highlighting the pivotal role of controllers. In addition, this work also explores SDN using Mininet and MiniEdit emulators for designing custom topologies built based on real time scenarios. Consequently, the research aims to pinpoint the optimal topology suited for various applications.
