Abstract Enourmous amount of data has resulted into large data centres. Virtual machines and virtual networks are an integral part of large data centres. As a result, software defined network controllers have emerged as viable solution to manage such networks. The performance analysis of network controllers is generally carried out through benchmarking. Although several benchmarking studies exist, recently launched OpenDaylight SDN Controller is not considered in any benchmarking study yet. In this paper, we present initial results of benchmarking of Open-Daylight SDN Controller with well known Floodlight controller. We present latency and throughput results of OpenDaylight SDN Controller and Floodlight under different scenarios. We find that OpenDaylight SDN Controller has low average responses as compared to Floodlight. We also note that the standard benchmarking tool - Cbench - has no support for real traffic patterns in a data centre, since data centre traffic is considerably complex. In addition to benchmarking of OpenDaylight SDN Controller, we propose modifications in Cbench to accommodate models of real traffic in data centres. We also discuss our initial implementation.
