Abstract :Telecom operators experience difficulties in applications such as virtual local area network insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(VLAN); management, bandwidth management and access management while providing intranet services in traditional networks. In this study, open network operating system insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(ONOS); based software defined network insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(SDN); platform is developed for intranet services in order to address these problems. The developed platform has been integrated onto an existing network and a new topology has been created. In this proposed topology, intranet network elements are connected to the new generation SDN switches instead of the legacy switches. The proposed solution has been tested on a live network. According to test results where the proposed SDN platform is compared with the traditional intranet network in a live network scenario under varying traffic load, the SDN based platform achieved very successful results in terms of latency, jitter, packet loss and flow setup times. Overall, the proposed SDN platform provides a good alternative to traditional solutions in large scale intranet networks, minimizing the workload spent by the operators in controlling the network, while achieving cost savings and eliminating vendor dependency.
