✦ Synopsis

Currently, new protocols or architectures related to core network layer or network forwarding equipment are hard to deploy. And the core network evolves slowly. To solve this problem, various programmable Internet architectures and approaches are proposed. Programmable networks allow network researchers (not only the equipment vendors like Cisco and Juniper) to program and manage their customized architectures or protocols. This paper firstly describes the ossification with the current Internet architecture. And then it analyzes several most representative approaches for programmable networks with their mechanisms, advantages, and shortcomings. By the analysis above, this paper at last discusses the future research trends and gives a detailed description of the key issues in the future research of the programmable networks.
