Abstract

Abstract- The servers’ nature of having bottleneck situations makes the load balancing one of the essential services in the networks, particularly with the users’ increasing load. This current paper investigates the technique of load-balancing related to Software-Defined Network (SDN). Due to the nature of the paper, there shall be processes of analysis and simulation to the software-defined network of the two servers. The following parts constitute two servers, four clients, a pox controller, and an open virtual switch. To have the proposed topology connected with the pox controller, there shall be the utilization of the OpenFlow protocol. The results demonstrate that the use of the technique of load balancing assists in equally distributing the requests among the servers.

Highlights

  • The software-defined network (SDN) is one of the most up-to-date computer networking paradigms today

  • Software-Defined Network (SDN) is regarded as a new computer networking model where programmable interfaces are supported to present an appropriate way of adjusting the network traffic control

  • The new gap related to the SDN architecture, the control plane, and the data plane are used to upgrade the network’s flexibility and manageability

Summary

INTRODUCTION

The software-defined network (SDN) is one of the most up-to-date computer networking paradigms today. Weight Round-Robin algorithm relies on its distribution method for the requests on the weight on each server. Dynamic load-balancing algorithms include Central Queue Algorithm and the. They differ from static algorithms in that the workload is distributed among the processors at runtime. Dynamic algorithms allocate processes dynamically when one of the processors becomes under-loaded. Instead, they are buffered in the main host’s queue and allocated dynamically upon requests from remote hosts [4]. The current paper aims to evaluate static load-balancing algorithms, bearing in mind that the planned topology includes a Pox controller, a virtual switch, and three servers
