software-Defined Networking (SDN) is a modern technology in the field of computer networks that aims to simplify network management and increase flexibility and efficiency. The main concept of SDN is separating the control plane from the data plane, allowing centralized network management through software instead of traditional hardware-based control.
In traditional networks, each network device such as switches and routers is configured and managed individually, which increases complexity. In contrast, SDN uses a centralized controller that manages network traffic intelligently based on predefined policies
SDN offers many advantages, including easier network management, faster configuration, improved performance, and greater support for innovation
