Özet |
Software Defined Networking (SDN) is a new emerging paradigm, yearning for a programmable network by increasing flexibility of today’s network. The fundamental idea behind this new architecture is to simplify the network complexity by decoupling network control logic from it’s data-forwarding by centralizing the control logic. To increase the scalability and flexibility of controllers, the OpenFlow controllers are distributed into domains based on location and network types. However, most critical issue is minimizing the communication cost between the controller domains. This paper addresses the cost minimization issue by proposing Kernighan-Lin-based Partitioning (KLAP) mechanism applied to partition the network by distributing the workload between network devices. The implementation of the mechanism is under OMNeT++ simulation environment with INET framework and OpenFlow module. The evaluation has been carried out by comparing the performance through network throughput and delay for SDN along with the adapted graph theory. The results show that the proposed mechanism is faster and more stable than the existing solutions, as well as in terms of minimizing the communication cost significantly. |
