Exploring the Design of Distributed Task-Driven Networks within the Framework of SDN Network Architecture

This article elaborates upon an aeronautical tactical network architecture grounded in distributed task requirements. In response to the communication demands inherent in future aerial combat paradigms, we have conceived a data-link network framework tailored to meet the imperatives of mission-driven scenarios. Owing to the intricate demands of the operational environment, conventional airborne data link systems encounter challenges when endeavoring to achieve cross-platform interoperability. The introduction of the Software-Defined Networking (SDN) architecture, however, furnishes a solution. Through centralized control and network management, it empowers constituents to promptly respond, engage in efficient decision-making, and facilitate collaborative combat operations. Furthermore, this article delves comprehensively into topics including task allocation and scheduling, as well as the southbound protocol overhead, offering viable resolutions. In contrast to traditional network optimization, the design philosophy of Software-Defined Networking (SDN) has been innovatively harnessed to shape a network architecture founded upon the principles of distributed task requirements. By amalgamating the tenets of SDN and task-driven attributes, this approach intertwines mission planning with network management, fulfilling the communication requisites of distributed task administration, ultimately culminating in a communication architecture tailored for aeronautical networks.
