Abstract

Software Define Network (SDN) is taking place as the new networking approach which aimed to enhance the performance and reduce costs of various networking systems over the traditional networks which still facing the poor utilization of resources. This paper presents a novel technique by implementing the load balancer in SDN, to improve throughput utilization. Mininet software is used to build the network environment. Moreover, the floodlight controller and Python programming language were used to implement. Two scenarios were tested and evaluated, before and after the load balancer using IPerf for TCP and UDP protocols. The results show a huge increment in network performance when using the load balancer with SDN.
