“…LiDy+ does not only provide the minimum number of controllers and maximum controller utilization but also takes less energy consumption and maintenance costs as compared to LiDy. Both schemes provide better results as compared to previous studies . In previous research work, controllers were deployed only to switch locations, but here, the authors' aim is to deploy the controller in a location other than of the switch locations so that the propagation latency gets reduced.…”

Summary Software defined networking emerges as a promising paradigm shift that decouples the control plane from the data plane. It has the ability to centrally monitor and control the network through softwarization, ie, controller. Deploying a single controller is inefficient to handle large network traffic; thereby, making multiple controllers are a necessity of current software defined networking in wide area networks. Placing multiple controllers in an optimum way, ie, controller placement is a vibrant research problem. Controller placement problem (CPP) is of twofold: the minimum number of controllers to be placed in a network and locations of these controllers. Numerous researchers in the last 5 years (2012 to November 2017) have proposed solutions for the CPP, which is an NP‐hard problem. In general, solutions are based on objective functions and their optimum solutions considering various factors (such as propagation latency between switches and controllers, and intercontrollers) and constraints (such as the capacity of controllers and switches). To the best of our knowledge, this is the first attempt of state‐of‐the‐art review on CPP. This paper classifies the CPP, critically analyzes the existing solutions, and finds limitations and future scope existing, which will help potential researchers in this area to innovate new solutions for CPP lying on this information.

Abstract. Traditional network architectures are complex to manage, comparatively static, rigid and difficult to make changes for new innovation. The proprietary devices in such architectures are based on manual configuration which are unwieldy and error-prone. Software Defined Network (SDN) which is described as a new network paradigm that decouple the control plane from data plane are capable to solve today's network issues and improve the network performance. Nevertheless, among so many challenges and research opportunity in SDN, Controller Placement Problem (CPP) is said to be the most important issues which can directly affect the overall network performance. Thus far, the issue regarding the CPP and its challenge has not been completely reviewed and discussed properly in any other papers. In this paper, we provide a comprehensive review on several optimized controller placement problem algorithms in SDN. This paper also highlights some limitations of the reviewed methods and also emphasizes on suitable approach to address the aforementioned problems.

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 the network through a software control in the control plane, called as controller. Multiple controllers are needed to manage the software‐defined WAN (SD‐WAN) for handling the scalability and reliability issues of the network as one controller is not enough. Deploying numerous controllers efficiently to improve the performance of the network is known as controller placement problem (CPP). This paper proposes a Varna‐based optimization (VBO) for a reliable CPP that minimizes the total average latency of SDN. To the best of our knowledge, the proposed work is a novel approach, which is compared with particle swarm optimization, teacher learning‐based optimization, and Jaya algorithms to solve reliable CPP. The experimental results show that VBO gives better performance than teacher learning‐based optimization (TLBO), PSO, and Jaya algorithms for the popular topologies that are publicly available.
