Abstract:
Coordination of the workload among distributed SDN controllers is critical role for both the network performance and the control plane scalability. Therefore, various load balancing techniques were proposed for SDN to efficiently utilize the control plane’s resources. However, such techniques suffer from increased latency and packet loss that come as the result of load migration requirements and intensive communication between the SDN controllers. The proposed system adopts OpenFlow mechanism and introduces a new system that offers coordination, synchronization and stable performance.
