 Summary Strong points Weak points

- An overview of traffic engineering mechanisms

in traditional TE technologies (ATM, MPLS, IP)
and SDN architectures

- Discussion of SDN TE in 4 scopes: flow

management, fault tolerance, topology update
and traffic analysis

- Introducing the TE solutions for both

industrial and academic aspects in
SDN-OpenFlow networks

 Summary Strong points Weak points

Comprehensive explanation
1 TE in ATM – IP – MPLS - SDN
about trend of TE in networks

TE technology is critical importance

TE and SDN have an intimate to evolution of SDN.
2 relationship SDN features helps TE management
is feasible.
Approaches of TE in SDN are Approach Issues and
3 discussed with specific examples suggestions for improvement

 Summary Strong points Weak points

Missing information when doing Ex. The analysis of academic

1 comparisons solutions are absent

Only focus on: availability, scalability,

Missing discussion about security reliability and consistency while SDN
2 in data networking with SDN security is major concern

Unclear criteria when selecting Missing the definitions and the reason
3 aspects of concepts
of selecting (ex. Chose “planned
changes” instead of “unplanned
changes” in Topology update)
