Software-defined southbound application program interfaces (SDN southbound APIs) are used to communicate between the SDN Controller and the switches and routers of the network.
A
Southbound APIs are used to enable communication between the SDN controller and the network elements (such as switches, routers, etc.) in the network. The SDN controller uses these APIs to send commands and configuration instructions to the network elements, and to receive status and other information from them. This allows the SDN controller to centrally control and manage the network elements, and to dynamically adjust the network's behavior in response to changing conditions.
Southbound APIs that relay information between the controller and the individual network devices (such as switches, access points, routers, and firewalls)
southbound APIs are used to communicate between the SDN controller and the switches and routers within the infrastructure.
