Abstract
This paper presents a Software Defined Network (SDN) controller, called Cloud Networking Gateway (CNG) Manager, that enhances networking of distributed cloud resources and provides authorized customers with the ability to control and configure networks. The CNG Manager interconnects virtual machines acquired from distributed heterogeneous resources and services from multiple providers using a generic gateway. The cloud networking gateways are managed by the CNG Manager that handles allocation and configuration of the gateways according to connectivity requirements. Our implementation of the CNG Manager and the gateway is combined with an exact splitting algorithm and integrated in a cloud services provisioning system. The CNG Manager and the associated gateway extend the current state of the art by applying the SDN principle to connectivity control of distributed and networked cloud resources.
