Abstract

Under the new paradigm Software Defined Networking (SDN), which involves decoupling control plane from data plane, and allowing control planes to be deployed on external servers, our main goal is to propose an overview of architecture that can effectively solve problems of network QoS caused by this separation. The overall objective is to study and evaluate the use of SDN networks as a cornerstone of a communication system that can effectively support distributed applications whose needs change over time. In this paper, we focus, in particular, on the controller placement problem in SDN, optimizing the latency, resilience, reliability, scalability and other network performance. The technical solutions to these problems will be studied to identify the components of SDN that can be improved.
