Vehicular Ad-Hoc Networks (VANETs) have emerged in response to long traffic jams and frequent road accidents, aiming to make travel more enjoyable, roads safer, and transportation systems more efficient. However, current vehicular network architectures face significant scalability challenges, as deploying services on a large scale remains difficult. These architectures tend to be rigid, complex to manage, and lack the flexibility needed to adapt to the diverse range of vehicular technologies. As a result, system functionality is often limited, innovation is slowed, and network resources are underutilized. In recent years, Software-Defined Networking (SDN) has gained prominence as a key technology for managing large-scale networks, including vehicular networks. SDN introduces a clear separation between the control plane and the data plane, with centralized control and intelligence residing in a software controller. This approach provides greater flexibility and adaptability in managing network traffic and resources. In this paper, we demonstrate how VANETs can be simulated using a software-defined networking emulator, specifically Mininet-WiFi, and evaluate the simulation’s performance, focusing primarily on bandwidth.
