Abstract

The article analyzes the concept of software-configurable networks and the OpenFlow protocol, aimed at highlighting the importance of implementing these technologies in modern information and communication systems. The authors put forward the idea of effective management of traffic and network resources through the use of software-controlled approaches, in particular, the use of the OpenFlow concept.
The authors substantiate the relevance of the study in the context of modern requirements for network infrastructure, where the expanding volume of data and diversity of traffic require new methods of management and adaptation. It is pointed out that traditional approaches to network management may be ineffective in the face of increasing complexity and volume of network traffic.
The article proposes a formalized approach to network traffic management, taking into account resource segmentation. The key components of the proposed model, such as resource segments, a mechanism for identifying and analyzing traffic for each segment, and prioritization of traffic based on management efficiency criteria, are highlighted. This approach can help to optimize the management of network resources and improve the overall efficiency of the infrastructure, taking into account the requirements for modern network technologies.
