Software-defined networking (SDN) is an upcoming network model that emphasizes the
separation of the control plane and the data plane, resulting in more flexibility …

In almost a decade, Software Defined Networking (SDN) has transitioned from university
laboratories to real-life networks. As networks evolve from legacy networks to hybrid …

As the large-scale application of software-defined networking (SDN), one major research
challenge for the SDN is to place multi-controllers reasonably. The researchers have …

The advent of the Software-Defined Networks (SDNs) has caused the control plane on the
switches to be moved to a separate part of the data plane. Failure of a single controller …

Aiming at the local overload of multi-controller deployment in software-defined networks, a
load balancing mechanism of SDN controller based on reinforcement learning is designed …

Traditional network architectures are complex to manage, comparatively static, rigid and
difficult to make changes for new innovation. The proprietary devices in such architectures …

Controller placement is a key problem in software defined networks (SDNs). Previously, the
solution to this problem only focused on propagation latency but ignored the load of …

A network incorporates nodes, and each node can communicate with each other through
some links. An efficient way to maintain the communication between nodes is to divide a …

Software Defined Networking (SDN) makes network management simple and flexible by
decoupling control plane from data plane. Careful controller placements can achieve good …

Abstract Software Defined Networking (SDN) is a widely used network architecture. It
separates the controller logic (or control plane) from forwarding plane (or data plane) to …
