One of the key enablers of the evolving 5G technology are Vehicular Ad hoc Networks (VANETs) and Software Defined Networking (SDN). The development of next generation intelligent vehicular networks includes integration of SDN in Vehicular Ad hoc Networks (VANETs). Researchers have focused on the development of the integrated technology including architecture and benefits of SDN based VANET services. In this paper we have simulated the Vehicular Ad hoc Networks (VANETs) using Mininet-wifi. The VANET is incorporated with SDN controller. The performance is evaluated by varying the speed of vehicles. We have evaluated the performance in two ways: performance evaluation of V2V communication in same RSU and performance evaluation of V2V communication from different RSU. We have evaluated the proposed system for POX and RYU SDN OpenFlow controllers. As demonstrated in the results the RYU controller of SDN performs better as compared to POX controller in terms of average delay and throughput.
