Research on Multi-controller Deployment Strategy Based on Latency and Load in Software Defined Network

The emergence of the multi-controller architecture solves the scalability problem of the classic Software Defined Networking (SDN) architecture with a single centralized controller as the main control layer. In a multi-controller architecture, since the task of generating forwarding rules and filling them into the switch is delegated to the controller, the performance of the network depends largely on the placement of the controller. To reduce the total delay and balance the load among controllers, a Multi-Controller Placement Algorithm (MCPA) based on subnetting is proposed. This algorithm modifies the spectral clustering algorithm to ensure network connectivity and adds outlier processing algorithm and load balancing processing algorithm. The simulation results show that the algorithm can effectively divide the network and keep the load of each controller balanced while ensuring a low total network delay.
