The key idea of SDN is to simplify network management by introducing a centralized control, through which dynamic updates of forwarding rules, simplification of the network devices task, and flow abstractions can be realized. In this article, the researchers discuss the complex design of the current network architecture, which has inevitably resulted in poor network resources management, such as bandwidth management. SDN-based network model has been proposed to simplify the management of the limited bandwidth of a network. The proposed network model utilizes the limited network bandwidth systematically by giving real-time traffics higher priority than non-real-time traffics to access the limited resource. The experimental results showed that the proposed model helped ensure real-time traffics would be given greater priority to access the limited bandwidth, where major portion of the limited bandwidth being allocated to the real-time traffics.","PeriodicalId":208567,"journal":{"name":"Int.

A survey data of 130 Ghanaian bank officials was analysed through a partial least square structural equation modelling (PLS-SEM) approach to examine the relationship among the study constructs. The results indicated that BI Systems indeed impacted significantly on Ghanaian banks' organisational performance by improving employee learning and growth, enhancing their internal business processes and improving their customer management performances. Nonetheless, BI Systems did not have a direct significant effect on the banks financial performance. Moreover, the findings show that there is no significant difference between early-adopters and late-adopters in terms of BI Systems impacts on the banks' organisational performance.

The rate of growth of interconnected devices has been on exponential scale from the last decade. As of now, more than 5 billion devices are accessing the Internet. The Internet Protocol Version 4 (IPv4) which is a three decade old standard internetworking protocol using 32-bit address, fails to cater such a large number of hosts. In February 2011, the Internet Assigned Numbers Authority (IANA), the nodal agency for IP address allocation exhausted the central pool of IPv4 addresses completely. This rapid depletion of IP addresses was inevitable as a large number of devices are getting connected to internet. Also, inefficient utilization and remiss planning of IP address space acted as catalyst in the process of depletion. NAT, CIDR and Subnetting only serve as short interim solutions provided by IPv4. Moreover, IPv4 fails to scale up and bridge the security enhancements required by the modern Internet today. The only feasible option lies in unabridged transition to IPv6. Internet Protocol Version 6 (IPv6) provides an address space of 2128 i.e. trillions of addresses, making the IP address space potentially inexhaustible. Thus, adopting IPv6 makes a paragon choice of replacement for IPv4. This article reviews the next generation internet protocol IPv6 and explicates the discussion over the need for migrating to IPv6. The article also presents technical as well as non-technical challenges related to migration and presents overall statistics regarding IPv6 adoption around the world.","PeriodicalId":208567,"journal":{"name":"Int.
