Abstract

This thesis addresses three versions of a novel problem, called Green Multi-Stage Upgrade (GMSU), to upgrade legacy networks to Software Defined Networks (SDNs). The three versions, namely GMSU-1, GMSU-2, and GMSU-3, consider legacy networks that support IEEE 802.1AX, where each link contains multiple cables. Each version aims to replace a set of legacy-switches with SDN-switches over multiple stages. The aim is to maximally turn off unused cables adjacent to SDN-switches to save energy.
