In order to deploy fault-tolerant Software-Defined Networks (SDNs), a logically centralized
controller must be physically distributed among different devices. In this paper, we focus on …

Large networks are always partitioned into several small networks when deploying software
defined networking (SDN). The network partitioning with SDN control planes open many …

Software Defined Networking decouples the control plane from the data plane and shifts the
control plane to an external entity known as the controller. In large networks, the control …

With the introduction of Software Defined Networking (SDN), the concept of an external and
optionally centralized network control plane, ie controller, is drawing the attention of …

Currently, one of the main enablers for network evolution is software-defined networking
(SDN), where the control plane is decoupled from the data plane. A controller, as a …

Software Defined Networking (SDN) provides flexible network management by decoupling
control plane and data plane. However, such separation introduces the issues regarding the …

Compared with traditional network, Software Defined Networking (SDN) decouples control
plane and data plane, providing programmability to configure the network. In spite of such …

Abstract In Software-Defined Networks (SDN), one of the critical research challenges for
large-scale deployment of SDN is controller placement problem (CPP). However, link …

The controller placement problem tries to place k controllers in a given network to optimize
performance metrics such as propagation latency, load distribution, network reliability and …

Abstract Software Defined Networking simplifies design, monitoring and management of
next generation networks by segregating a legacy network into a centralized control plane …
