Nowadays, with the advent of Cloud/Edge Computing and Internet of Things (IoT) technologies, we are facing with a tremendous increase of network connections required by different new cutting-edge distributed applications spread over a wide geographical area. Specifically, the proliferation of IoT devices used by such applications and associated data streams require a highly dynamic network ecosystem; the traditional network technologies are not adequate to efficiently support them in terms of routing strategies. In order to deploy such applications, providers need an advanced awareness of the Cloud/Edge and IoT networks in terms of flexible packets routing that can compute the paths according to different parameters including, e.g., hops, latency, and energy efficiency policies. In this context, Software Defined Networking (SDN) has emerged as the answer to these needs decoupling control and data planes …
