Abstract
Software Defined Networking (SDN) is a new networking paradigm [1] that separates the control and forwarding planes in a network. This migration of control, formerly tightly bound in individual network devices, into accessible computing devices enables the underlying infrastructure to be abstracted for applications and network services, which can treat the network as a logical or virtual entity. There are three methods for implementing SDN based network architecture, which uses Mininet emulator, Net-FPGA, and OpenFlow-based S/W switch [2]. In this research,simulation of Spanning Tree Protocol (STP) based SDN using mininet emulator. SDN is performed by OpenvSwitch (OVS) as a forwarding function, Ryu as OpenFlow Controller, and Mininet that installed on Raspberry-Pi. Then see the effect of the use of STP at Ryu Controller on network performance.The results of this research show that the simulation of SDN with OVS and Ryu controller can successfullyrunsSTP function and STP on Ryu controller prevents broadcast storm.
