Abstract: We propose a novel architecture for software-defined networking (SDN) that allows for dynamic addition and modification of functionalities. Existing SDN architectures separate data transfer from software changes, making it difficult to modify the latter in response to the former. In this paper, we treat the software that defines communication protocols as first-class objects, indistinguishable from data, enabling their transfer to other computers. Our contribution to software engineering is to introduce a dynamic and unified mechanism for software components involved in network processing, which enables flexible and diverse customization. To demonstrate the utility of our proposed approach, we implemented a prototype on a Java Virtual Machine (VM) and designed and implemented several practical protocols for both data transmission and component deployment.
