Dear Afrah
I think one of the most important trends in SDN is software-defined WAN.
In addition, please take a look at this paper:
http://ieeexplore.ieee.org/document/7724385/
The use of SDN in Smart Grids is a prominent field of research. A good survey about the related research can be found here: Article Software Defined Networks based Smart Grid Communication: A ...
-- Controller Bottleneck
-- Multi Controller (Load Balancing)
-- Communication and Synchronization between Controller
-- Network Scalability
-- Slice Resources / Resource Managment between Controllers
and to get more ideas on read "Survey and review about SDN" from IEEE explorer.
Dear Afrah Salman Dawood,
Software Defined Networking (SDN) is currently a very important and broad area. Here is my list of current research topics in this area:
- SDN and Service Function Chaining (SFC),
- VNF Orchestration, Network Slicing ,
- SDN for Internet of Things (IoT),
- Multi-domain Software Defined Networks, Hierarchical SDN Controllers,
- Quality of Service in Software Defined Networks,
- Energy efficiency in Software Defined Networks,
- Load balancing Software Defined Networks,
- Wireless Software Defined Networks, SDN in Wireless Networks,
- SDN in vehicular Ad Hoc Networks,
- SDN for 5G Mobile Networks,
- AI (Artificial Intelligence) -enabled SDN.
The added file contains a small list of literature sources.
