Proposed approach of extended Johnson algorithm analysis for load balancing and congestion control in software defined networking

Abstract Software Defined Networking (SDN) is a novel architecture that separates the data plane from the control plane using an external controller. Similar to traditional networks, load balancing has a great impact on the performance and availability of SDN. Therefore, the Controller Placement Problem (CPP) in SDN influences on the load balancing solutions. In this paper, various topologies of CPP including different load balancer controllers are simulated and evaluated in the SDN using the OFSwitch13 module of ns-3 network simulator. The results provide a solid comparison of the proposed topologies in different network situations.

Due to the increase in the number of users on the internet and the number of applications that is available in the cloud makes Data Center Networking (DCN) has the backbone for computing. These data centre requires high operational cost and also experience the link failures and congestions often. Hence the solution is to use Software Defined Networking (SDN) based load balancer which improves the efficiency of the network by distributing the traffic across multiple paths to optimize the efficiency of the network. Traditional load balancers are very expensive and inflexible. These SDN load balancers do not require costly hardware and can be programmed, which it makes it easier to implement user-defined algorithms and load balancing strategies. In this paper, we have proposed an efficient load balancing technique by considering different parameters to maintain the load efficiently using Open FlowSwitches connected to ONOS controller.

Delivery Networks

In today’s age of digital media and social networks, delivering content to a massive scale of recipients became one of the main challenges. Load Balancers and Content Delivery Networks are used to distribute content to multiple locations, which increase the scalability of services and decrease the load on content origins. Both technologies rely on redirections. Redirections have not received a significant amount of attention in the recent years; however, they do impose some limitations. In this article, we propose a transparent redirection mechanism, which exploits the versatility of Software Defined Networking. The redirection method is achieved by handing off existing TCP sessions without any required modifications to the endpoints. This article demonstrates how the proposed redirection mechanism can be adopted in Content Delivery Networks and Load Balancing scenarios. The performance of the solution is thoroughly tested and compared to existing legacy solutions.
