Software‐defined networking (SDN) paradigm has become the master solver for traditional
network restrictions. The fundamental concept of SDN is moving the control plane into one …

(SDN) controllers and forwarders in large networks contexts is still a research open issue,
given the different network contexts, providers' policies and possible optimization criteria …

With the popularization and spread of SDN, the size of SDN networks is increasing; the
controller placement is a key problem in software defined networks (SDNs). In this paper, an …

Software-defined networking (SDN) moves the control plane of network devices like
switches and routers to the controller. The controller is in charge of managing the whole …

In the context of wide area networks (WANs) and software defined networking (SDN),
reducing the communication delays experienced by the network devices is an important …

Software Defined Networking (SDN) marks a paradigm shift towards an externalized and
logically centralized network control plane. A particularly important task in SDN architectures …

Controller placement is an important problem in software defined networks (SDN). Most of
the placement strategies focused on propagation latency, but ignored the load of controllers …

Software-defined networking is a new network model proposed to solve the complexity of
traditional network problems and facilitate dynamic network operation and management …

Software Defined Networks (SDN) is a novel computing paradigm that decouples the control
plane from the data plane. Its introduction has brought about great and innovative changes …

The deployment of distributed multi-controllers for Software-Defined Networking (SDN)
architecture is an emerging solution to improve network scalability and management …
