Controller placement and flow based dynamic management problem towards SDN
Abstract
The SDN architecture decouples the control plane and data plane, and multiple controllers are adopted to solve the scalability and reliability problem in SDN. However, most of the researches are focused on the control architecture and ignore the controller placement problem. Moreover, the mapping between the switches and controllers are static in current proposals, which will lead to the load unbalance of controllers under dynamic flow variations. In this paper, we define a new controller placement metric considering the node weight for a single domain at first, and then propose a dynamic switch migration algorithm to adapt to the flow dynamics and realize controller load balance in multiple SDN domains. Finally, a simple simulation platform is built to verify the proposed scheme.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
