Abstract:

Method and systems for controlling a hybrid network having software-defined network (SDN) switches and legacy switches include initializing a hybrid network topology by retrieving information on a physical and virtual infrastructure of the hybrid network; generating a path between two nodes on the hybrid network based on the physical and virtual infrastructure of the hybrid network; generating a virtual local area network by issuing remote procedure call instructions to legacy switches in accordance with a network configuration request; and generating an SDN network slice by issuing SDN commands to SDN switches in accordance with the network configuration request.
