Mobile application access design for user-defined network infrastructure

Abstract

Advance in Software Defined Network is enabling more possibilities of network infrastructure utilization. For example, underutilized network resource in the production network can be shared to provide research and development network that does not mix with the production one. In our previous work, we already provide users a way to manage their defined network infrastructure through a web interface. In this paper, we presented our mobile application access design for users as a new way for them to manage their defined network infrastructure via their smartphone or tablet. We also update our previous work to reflect this change by modularizing the system and adding a REST API access module to our Virtual Network Management System.
