D-SDN accomplishes network control distribution by defining a hierarchy of controllers that can "match" an internet's organizational- and administrative structure. By delegating control between main controllers and secondary controllers, D-SDN is able to accommodate administrative decentralization and autonomy. It incorporates security as an integral part of the framework. This paper describes D-SDN and presents two use cases, namely network capacity sharing and public safety network services. %G English %2 https://inria.hal.science/hal-01019919/document %2 https://inria.hal.science/hal-01019919/file/LCN14.pdf %L hal-01019919 %U https://inria.hal.science/hal-01019919 %~ INRIA %~ INRIA-SOPHIA %~ INRIASO %~ INRIA_TEST %~ LORIA2 %~ TESTALAIN1 %~ INRIA2 %~ ANR %~ INRIA-ETATSUNIS
