Abstract

Emerging Software-Defined Networking (SDN) technique brings new opportunities to improve network performance. Some SDN-enabled programmable switches are deployed in legacy networks, and thus legacy and programmable switches could coexist, generating hybrid SDNs. In this paper, we study the node upgrade for layer-2 hybrid SDN and propose Shortcutter to accelerate the transmission. Preliminary results show that the proposed Shortcutter can reduce the forwarding path's length 7% on average, compared with baseline solutions.
