Zusammenfassung:In Software-Defined Networks (SDN), the divergence of the control interface from the data plane provides a unique platform to develop a programmable and flexible network. A single controller, due to heavy load traffic triggered by different intelligent devices can not handle due to it’s restricted capability. To manage this, it is necessary to implement multiple controllers on the control plane to achieve quality network performance and robustness. The flow of data through the multiple controllers also varies, resulting in an unequal distribution of load between different controllers. One major drawback of the multiple controllers is their constant configuration of the mapping of the switch-controller, quickly allowing unequal distribution of load between controllers. To overcome this drawback, Software-Defined Vehicular Networking (SDVN) has evolved as a configurable and scalable network, that has quickly achieved attraction in wireless communications from research groups, businesses, and industries administration. In this paper, we have proposed a load balancing algorithm based on latency for multiple SDN controllers. It acknowledges the evolving characteristics of real-time latency vs. controller loads. By choosing the required latency and resolving multiple overloads simultaneously, our proposed algorithm solves the load-balancing problems with multiple overloaded controllers in the SDN control plane. In addition to the migration, our algorithm has improved 25% latency as compared to the existing algorithms.
