What Is SDN Controller

Decent Essays

The SDN layer essentially acts a virtual software switch or router in place of (or in conjunction with) the physical network devices. Software from outside the devices takes over the job, instead of software embedded in the routers and switches managing the traffic. The network layout, or topography, is no longer rooted in the physical. Instead, it 's flexible and adjustable to the systems’ needs on the fly. SDN promises to solve both cost of labor performing manual maintenance and administrative tasks in one single blow to the status quo. Traffic engineering problem for SDN controller is to route the traffic in such a way that the delay and packet loss at link are minimized. In existing scenario SDN controllers are deployed incrementally. In proposed system SDN controllers are deployed in tree like structure such that lower level controller is controlled by upper level controller so that all the network is controlled by single SDN controller centrally. Making possible to centralized control over the global view of network with improved architecture will be considered. Keywords — Mininet, OpenFlow, Software Defined Networking , SDN Controller. I. INTRODUCTION Now a day’s it is important to have centralize control over the resources rather than distributed one. In current network architectures, the network devices are bundled with a specialized control plane and various specialized features. This essentially binds us with the features shipped with the device. SDN breaks
