A software-defined network (SDN) separates the network control plane from the data
forwarding plane. SDN has shown significant benefits in many ways compared to …

With the rapid increase of user access, load balancing in cloud data center has become an
important factor affecting cluster stability. From the point of view of green scheduling, this …

Software-defined networking (SDN) is a state-of-the-art architectural approach to network
management that allows more flexible management of a complicated large-scale network …

Recent Research have shown that software-defined networking (SDN) drastically improves
network resource utilization, manages today's complex networks and reduces cost. The …

Compared with the traditional networks, the SDN networks have shown great advantages in
many aspects, but also exist the problem of the load imbalance. If the load distribution is …

Considering a software defined network, distributed controller architecture uses multiple
controllers in which each controller manages a part of the network. The load imbalance …

This paper studies the problem of the dynamic scaling and load balancing of transparent
virtualized network functions (VNFs). It analyzes different particularities of this problem, such …

Cloud computing has become a widely accepted technology that provides on-demand
services. Resource man-agement is critical in cloud computing to provide required …

Traditional load balancers used in server clusters have problems such as lack of flexibility,
high cost, etc. To overcome these problems, research has been conducted to apply a load …

This contribution concerns load balancing, based on mechanisms from complex systems
theory dedicated to IoT solutions within the Edge-Cloud continuum. The basis of considered …
