Data plane failure and its recovery techniques in SDN: A systematic literature review

Software-defined networking (SDN) plays a crucial role in the enterprise and wide-area networking. The increasing demand for strict service-level agreement applications on the Internet requires networks to be scalable and resilient in the face of link and switch failure. However, there is a lack of...

However, there is a lack of systematic reviews on SDN data plane failure recovery techniques. This review article assesses SDN current state-of-the-art link and switches failure recovery solutions.
