Abstract
To forward traffic to a base station using Software Defined Network technology, a method for operating a switch includes receiving path information of a packet to be forwarded from a source terminal to a plurality of destination terminals, from a controller, receiving the packet to be forwarded from the source terminal to the destination terminals, from a base station, and transmitting the packet along a path determined by the path information. An apparatus for controlling a switch in a communication network includes a transceiver configured to receive information of a source terminal and a plurality of destination terminals, from a server which controls a service for forwarding traffic from the source terminal to the destination terminals, and a controller configured to determine a packet forward path between the source terminal and the destination terminals, wherein the transceiver transmits the determined path information to at least one switch.
