| Abstract |
Wireless Mesh Networks (WMNs) have been considered as a relatively stable network paradigm among the other wireless technologies. However, the hardware based implementation of WMN makes it less flexible and difficult to manage technological modifications. To make it more flexible, WMN needs to be made programmable by adopting Software Defined Networking (SDN) technique. Moreover, introducing SDN along with transition from conventional distributed to programmable centralized network may create economical, operational and deployment issues. To mitigate these challenges and to create seamless interoperability between SDN and IP network, SDNs may be deployed in a systematic incremental and hybrid operational way. In this paper, a comparative analysis of various hybrid routing schemes has been undertaken by addressing the challenges of load balancing, traffic engineering and mobility management being raised by topological dynamicity that WMNs experience. Considering the implementation frameworks used by the hybrid schemes, paper focuses towards the study of Topology based Hybrid Routing and Switch Architecture based Hybrid Routing, the latter modifies architecture of switch by adding SDN and IP routing schemes at same switch. © 2018 IEEE. |
