“…It is a popular SDN platform that researchers use due to its flexibility, availability, and simplicity. Furthermore, it is devoted entirely to OpenFlow architecture [20]. In Mininet the user is allowed to create, customize and share various topologies that consists of controllers, switches, routers, links, and end-hosts, and perform tests on them very easily.…”

In Software Defined Networks (SDN) the control plane is removed to a separate device called the controller. The controller is the most important and main part in SDN architecture and large SDN networks may consist of multiple controllers or controller domains that distribute the network management between them. Because of the controller importance, it has been given a proper attention and many studies have been made to compare, test, and evaluate the performance of the controllers. This paper aims to evaluate and compare the performance of different SDN controllers which are Open Network Operating System (ONOS), OpenDaylight, POX and Ryu, using Two performance tests; the first test includes connecting two controllers of each of the four controllers to linear topology with different number of switches; and the other test includes connecting different number of controllers of each of the four controllers to linear topology with fixed number of switches. Then for these tests, the performance in terms of some Quality of Service (QoS) parameters such as average Round-Trip Time (RTT), throughput, and jitter are measured between the two end hosts in each network. After the evaluation of the performance has been completed, it had been seen that the controllers showed different behaviors, and that POX controller showed more stable and good performance results than other controllers.

“…The SDN controller is the implementation of the central part of the architecture of the software defined networks; that is, it is the control plane in which different applications of the application plane can be instantiated. The SDN controller is responsible for centralizing all the policies and guidelines that are executed from the Northbound APIs [22]. Its main task is the intelligent control of managed resources to deliver a better quality of the services offered in an environment where the demand for resources is variable, achieving an optimization of networks 7 It is a network administration protocol developed and standardized by IETF 8 Transaction Language 1 Southbound protocol that communicates with the transport layer 9 It is an application layer protocol that facilitates the exchange of management information between network devices.…”

“…The originating DC makes the transfer request to the SDN operator, specifying destination, volume of information, and maximum time for the transfer. Then, the SDN operator requests ABNO 22 the channel with the greatest availability of available spectrum width, without neglecting local policies and service level agreements (SLA), finally, the response is sent to the originating DC, making the connection through the respective channel.…”

The growth of networks at a global level is inevitable due to the increase of users, devices and applications, such as: Internet of Things (IoT), processing and analysis of large amounts of information (Big Data), or streaming audio and video, which has demanded from the systems, greater storage resources and bandwidth. To this purpose, diverse paradigms have emerged for the centralized management of all the components of a network through fully administrable, centralized and dynamic technological platforms; among these is SDN (Software-Defined Networks). This document, consequently, establishes the state-of-art from a documentary research of a categorical type to be used as a frame of reference for research in the area of SDN by the Research Group of New Technologies of Social Application GIDENUTAS ascribed to the University Francisco Jose de Caldas. This is chronologically limited to a review, from 2007 until today, focused on the countries that have promoted the development and implementation of this new paradigm, using databases such as IEEE Xplore, Google Scholar, as well as documents from standardization organizations such as ONF and ITU.

“…Many works have been done to compare SDN network controllers with respect to architecture, efficiency, and controllers' features. For example, the authors of [6] Copyright © 2018 MECS I.J. Information Technology and Computer Science, 2018, 11, 1-13 discussed five different versions of OpenFlow switch standard (1.0, 1.1, 1.2, 1.3, and 1.4), four different platforms for simulation and emulation of SDN (Mininet, EstiNet, ns-3, and Trema), seven types of controllers (NOX, POX, Floodlight, OpenDaylight, Ryu, Mul, and Beacon), and different switch software and tools.…”

The growth of data traffic on the web, the virtualization of services, and the changes in the pattern of traffic between users and data centers have led to a reassessment of the current methods of doing network administration. Software Defined Networks (SDNs) propose a paradigm that delegate the control of packets and flows to applications, developed according to specific requirements, where the OpenFlow protocol can be used for communications. The development of this type of applications, as in any other development area, requires tests and measurement tools to facilitate a performance evaluation. However, the current open-source performance measurement applications for SDN networks cover only very basic characteristics, while there is a wide range of SDN controllers with support to many versions of OpenFlow, making the selection of the controller a difficult point to address. In this paper, we propose a distributed performance evaluation tool for SDN controllers, that can assess the throughput, latency, percentage of memory consumption, percentage of CPU utilization, and consumption in kB for input/output interfaces, using OpenFlow version 1.3. Our tool is based on Cbench, and adds new functionalities such as the graphical representation of results to analyze the outcomes. To validate our tool, we make a performance evaluation of well-known SDN controllers such as Ryu, OpenDaylight, OpenMUL, and Floodlight, in environments under great stress of requests.
