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
amid this configuration we tend to look for guidance from them as data, control, and application planes. At base, the data plane is included system segments, whose SDN Data ways uncover their abilities through the Control-Data-Plane Interface (CDPI) Agent. On top, SDN Applications exist inside of the application plane, and impart their needs by means of northward Interface (NBI) Drivers. inside of the centre, the SDN Controller interprets these needs and applies low-level administration over the SDN Data ways, while giving pertinent data up to the SDN

Brocade is fully invested in making SDN completely modular to deliver New IP networks based on an open ecosystem. The Brocade SDN Controller is continuously built from the OpenDaylight code, with a virtuous cycle of contributions back to the OpenDaylight community. Physical and virtual networks from multiple vendors can be managed within the Brocade SDN Controller, and organizations can gradually introduce ever-larger portions of their existing networks into the controller domain with single-source technical support for the entire
Internet based Wide Area Network virtualization technologies, virtualized network functions, overlays, automation technologies, and virtual network appliance solutions must be implemented where applicable for all network layers to improve infrastructure agility, efficiency, and reduced power consumption and physical foot print.
As this demand for dynamic and unpredictable data grows, more and more devices have to be added to existing networks and configured accordingly. The need of the hour is to regulate networks centrally and as a whole rather than configure individual network devices and gain more control to achieve flexibility in existing networks.
1. Traditional Networks are very hard to manage. With ever increasing size of networks, it becomes very difficult to manage and interoperate heterogeneous devices. Control plane is distributed in each infrastructure devices.
With that end-to-end view of the network, the SDN controller is also uniquely positioned as a platform where network applications and services can reside.
Routing lies at the core of any NDN architecture. NDN projects have proposed diverse solutions for routing. In this survey, I present a list of major NDN routing projects and the comparative analysis of four proposed routing models based on performance evaluation factors. My perspective on the requirements of ideal content routing model is introduced based on results of the survey.
The outstanding growth of network technologies in the past decade have contributed to millions of new applications and industries. Literally millions of companies around the world were created to serve this huge growth. Even though many of those companies did not survive until the present time, most of the applications did survive and they are still widely used among consumers of all ages, cultures, and backgrounds.
In the present computer networks are being built by implementing complex protocols on an array of network devices such as routers, switches and middleware like ISD intrusion detection systems and firewalls systems. In order to allow the network to be modified to the changing environment, the network Administrator have to manually configures all new configuration policies by converting them into the low level commands that are supported by the system. Companies need to depend on the network vendors in order to deal with the problems related to security, scalability, manageability and other issues. Many efforts have been done to make the network programmable even before the SDN. Some of those are Forces (2003), Routing Control Platform (2004), Ethane (2007), and Open Flow (2008).
Virtualization has made network management more challenging, and it’s more and more difficult to consistently apply firewall and content filtering policies. When you add in complexities such as securing BYOD devices, the security problem is intensified. Software-defined networking (SDN) is next evolving technology for the cloud computing. SDN is an umbrella term covering several kinds of network technology aimed at making the network as agile and flexible as the virtualized server and storage infrastructure of the modern data center. The SDN Controller provides a centralized system to manage the network. The network administrators are empowered by SDN to easily access and manage individual flows by facilitating them to implement monitoring applications, i.e., firewall and IDS. Furthermore, scalable monitoring and dynamic reconfiguration requirements of the network in cloud makes SDN a perfect choice (Amna Riaz 2017).
In today’s world each sector of industry need the internet services. The way we enjoy the deep services provided by the internet is only possible because of data centers. They play a critical role for enterprises by helping them expanding their capabilities. Incorporating software abstractions with DCN has helped with the evolution of DCN. As the need for cloud based applications increase so does the need of DCN to work more efficiently increases as well. Because of cloud computing the DCN are growing even larger in size and will grow further more in future. DCN contains thousands of servers. Interconnecting all these servers is the challenge the researchers face. They are generally connected via network interface cards, cables, routers and switches. Placement of all these devices

Software Defined Networking (SOFTWARE DEFINED NETWORKS) can enormously simplify network management by offering software engineers network-wide visibility and direct control over the fundamental changes from a legitimately unified controller. In any case, existing controller stages offer a "northbound" API that powers software engineers to reason physically, in unstructured and ad-hoc routes, about low-level conditions between various parts of their code. An application that performs different tasks, for example routing, monitoring, access control, and server load adjusting must guarantee that packet processing rules introduced to perform one undertaking do not supersede the usefulness of another. This outcomes in solid applications where the rationale for various undertakings is inflexibly interwoven, making the product difficult to compose, test, investigate, and reuse. Modularity is the way to overseeing complexity in any programming framework and SOFTWARE DEFINED NETWORKSs are no exemption. In the past research, it has handled an imperative extraordinary case, where every application controls its own cut—a disjoint bit of traffic over which the occupant or application module has complete visibility and control. Notwithstanding traffic disconnection such a stage may likewise support subdivision of network resources, for example link data transfer capacity, rule-table space and controller CPU and memory to keep one module from influencing the execution of another, but
The COMAN Group from the IETF \cite{COMAN}, proposes solutions such as: simplified MIB through Mobile Object (MO), SNMP-based in messages, and CoAP-based management which, it could be the protocol to use for management of constrained networks and devices.
