The number of controllers required to manage the network and locations of these controllers
affect various aspects of the separated controller plane including the performance metrics …

Software‐defined networking (SDN) is one of the most used network architecture that
divides the forwarding plane and control plane. The SDN centrally observes and regulates …

Controller placement is an important problem in software defined networks. Previously,
some works addressed the problem by taking into account primary factors, such as …

Relying upon a single centralized controller in Software-Defined Networks may lead to
scalability problems. To make the network scalable and keep latency low for wide area …

A key concern in the deployment of Software Defined Networks (SDN) is the location of the
controller. One issue network operators will have to face is how to expand their network at …

Multi-controller is a scalable control plane solution for the large-scale Software-Defined
Networking (SDN). To achieve high resilience, an SDN switch can connect one master …

We propose an effective switch-controller mapping scheme for distributed controller
architectures in software defined networks. Our scheme maps a switch to multiple controllers …

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

We consider a distributed Software Defined Networking (SDN) architecture adopting a
cluster of multiple controllers to improve network performance and reliability. Differently from …

Abstract Controller Placement Problem (CPP) is an important task in Software Defined
Networks (SDNs). Meanwhile, the assignment of switches to the controllers plays a key role …
