  abstract  = {This dissertation focuses on the performance evaluation of all components of Software Defined Networking (SDN) networks and covers whole their architecture. First, the isolation between virtual networks sharing the same physical resources is investigated with SDN switches of several vendors. Then, influence factors on the isolation are identified and evaluated. Second, the impact of control mechanisms on the performance of the data plane is examined through the flow rule installation time of SDN switches with different controllers. It is shown that both hardware-specific and controller instance have a specific influence on the installation time. Finally, several traffic flow monitoring methods of an SDN controller are investigated and a new monitoring approach is developed and evaluated. It is confirmed that the proposed method allows monitoring of particular flows as well as consumes fewer resources than the standard approach. Based on findings in this thesis, on the one hand, controller developers can refer to the work related to the control plane, such as flow monitoring or flow rule installation, to improve the performance of their applications. On the other hand, network administrators can apply the presented methods to select a suitable combination of controller and switches in their SDN networks, based on their performance requirements},
