Dynamic Controller Placement Problem in Software Defined Networking

Software-defined networking (SDN) technology is an approach to cloud computing that facilitates network management and enables programmatically efficient network configuration in order to improve network performance and monitoring. SDN suggests centralizing network intelligence in one network component by disassociating the forwarding process of network packets (data plane) from the routing process (control plane). The control plane consists of one or more controllers which are considered as the brain of SDN network where the whole intelligence is incorporated. With multiple controllers, one critical issue is the controller placement problem. The controller placement problem typically refers to how to place controllers in an SDN-enabled network and how to allocate associated switches to those controllers. TO BE CONT’D
