Enhanced bandwidth management model using software defined networking

Available bandwidth is the maximum unused bandwidth at a link, whereby it is measured in bits per second. However, since available bandwidth in network is limited, it is very critical to manage the network bandwidth efficiently. In this research, bandwidth management model based on Software-Defined...
