The capability of flexible network management makes it available to incorporate software-
defined networking (SDN) in the wide area network (WAN). Thereinto, multiple controllers …

Software-defined networking (SDN) separates the control plane from the data forwarding
plane and realizes the flexible management of the network resources. With the explosive …

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

In software defined networking (SDN) when the number of network elements and traffic flows
escalate, a single controller cannot efficiently handle the growing load, resulting in the …

Wide Area Networks (WANs) are widely used in various fields such as business, education,
government and military. The traditional network management of WANs has been difficult to …

In recent years, distributed controllers have been designed that the whole network has been
divided into several domains with multiple physically distributed but logically centralized …

Software defined networking (SDN) realizes the full decoupling between control plane and
data plane, and it could effectively simplify network management and promote network …

Software-defined networking (SDN) has been proposed as a new networking paradigm
which separates the control and data forwarding planes. The controllers deployed as …

Distributed multi-controller deployment is a promising method to achieve a scalable and
reliable control plane of Software-Defined Networking (SDN). However, it brings a new …
