Distributed Controllers

A computer network is a critical issue in our day to day activity; however, today it works under various problems. Since in the current network architecture the control plane and data plane are vertically bundled on the same device. To solve this problem programmable Software-Defined Network is released. OpenFlow is a protocol that vertically separates control plane and data plane of the network devices. In SDN the controllers are the brains of the network that controls the network devices. Today’s network required successful integration of distributed controllers to make the network more consistent. SDN distributed controller is a controller that we can add or remove the controllers according to the number of devices change. Distributed controller architecture has investigated and compared the 6 recent distributed controllers by using 26 criteria. Orion is the first best controller and ONOS is the second best controller.

AbstrakSoftware Defined Network (SDN) merupakan sebuah konsep pendekatan baru dalam jaringan untuk mendesain, membangun serta mengelola suatu jaringan komputer. Konsep ini melakukan pemisahan terhadap Data Plane dan Control Plane. Dalam konsep SDN ini terdapat suatu komponen penting yang bertanggung jawab terhadap segala aturan dalam pengelolaan dan pendistribusian informasi terhadap seluruh perangkat jaringan yaitu Controller. Karena peran Controller yang penting maka performa dari Controller perlu diuji sehingga dapat mengetahui kemampuan dari Controller yang digunakan. Dalam penelitian ini dilakukan perbandingan analisis nilai Quality of Services (QoS) terhadap implementasi SDN menggunakan Controller Floodlight dan Ryu dengan menjalankan topologi linear dan mesh dalam jumlah Switch yang beragam mulai dari 4, 8, 12 dan 16 Switch. Selama pengujian berlangsung dari node sumber ke node tujuan yang sama juga dialiri variasi background traffic mulai dari 50 hingga 200 Mbps.  Hasil yang didapatkan yaitu Controller Ryu memiliki nilai QoS yang lebih baik dari floodlight pada semua topologi yang diujikan, nilai latency dan jitter pada floodlight lebih tinggi dari ryu serta cenderung meningkat pada traffic 100 Mbps Pada throughput, ryu memiliki nilai lebih tinggi dengan kisaran 856-933 Kbps. Sedangkan pada packet loss floodlight lebih tinggi sementara ryu hanya memiliki rata-rata packet loss sebesar 0,5%. Namun pada pengujian hanya pada jumlah switch, floodlight menjamin dalam tingkat respons serta pengelolaan data yang besar di dalam arsitektur jaringan SDN.Abstract Software Defined Network (SDN) is a concept of a new approach in networking to design, build and manage a computer network. This concept separates the Data Plane and Control Plane. In this SDN concept there is an important component that is responsible for all rules in the management and distribution of information to all network devices that is Controller. Due to the important Controller role then the performance of the Controller needs to be tested so as to know the ability of the Controller to use. In this study, a comparison of Quality of Service (QoS) value analysis on SDN implementation using Floodlight and Ryu Controller by running linear and mesh topology in varying number of Switches ranging from 4, 8, 12 and 16 Switch. During the test from the source node to the same destination node is also varies background traffic ranging from 50 to 200 Mbps. The result is that Controller Ryu has better QoS value than floodlight on all tested topologies, the latency and jitter values on the floodlight are higher than ryu and tend to increase on 100 Mbps traffic. Throughput On ryu. have a higher value with the range of 856-933 Kbps. While the packet loss floodlight higher while ryu only have an average packet loss of 0.5%. But on testing only on the number of switches, the floodlight guarantees great response rates and data management within the SDN network architecture.

Software-defined networking is a new paradigm that overcomes problems associated with traditional network architecture by separating the control logic from data plane devices. It also enhances performance by providing a highly-programmable interface that adapts to dynamic changes in network policies. As software-defined networking controllers are prone to single-point failures, providing security is one of the biggest challenges in this framework. This paper intends to provide an intrusion detection mechanism in both the control plane and data plane to secure the controller and forwarding devices respectively. In the control plane, we imposed a flow-based intrusion detection system that inspects every new incoming flow towards the controller. In the data plane, we assigned a signature-based intrusion detection system to inspect traffic between Open Flow switches using port mirroring to analyse and detect malicious activity. Our flow-based system works with the help of trained, multi-layer machine learning-based classifier, while our signature-based system works with rule-based classifiers using the Snort intrusion detection system. The ensemble feature selection technique we adopted in the flow-based system helps to identify the prominent features and hasten the classification process. Our proposed work ensures a high level of security in the Software-defined networking environment by working simultaneously in both control plane and data plane.

Software Defined Network (SDN) is a new network architecture which separates the data plane from the control plane. The SDN controller implements the control plane and switches implement the data plane. Many papers discuss about DDoS attacks on primary servers present in SDN and how they can be mitigated with the help of controller. In our paper we show how DDoS attack can be instigated on the SDN controller by manipulating the flow table entries of switches, such that they send continuous requests to the controller and exhaust its resources. This is a new, but one of the possible way in which a DDoS attack can be performed on controller. We show the vulnerability of SDN for this kind of attack. We further propose a solution for mitigating it, by running a DDoS Detection module which uses variation of flow entry request traffic from all switches in the network to identify compromised switches and blocks them completely.

Software defined network (SDN) provides a programmable network through decoupling the data plane, control plane, and application plane from the original closed system, thus revolutionizing the existing network architecture to improve the performance and scalability. In this paper, we learned about the distributed characteristics of Kandoo architecture and, meanwhile, improved and optimized Kandoo’s two levels of controllers based on ideological inspiration of RCP (routing control platform). Finally, we analyzed the deployment strategies of BGP and OSPF protocol in a distributed control plane of SDN. The simulation results show that our deployment strategies are superior to the traditional routing strategies.

The article is devoted to the Network Layer means to ensure resilience during designing an infocommunication system that can counteract faults and failures. A review of the default gateway redundancy protocols concept and analysis of recent developments to overcome fault tolerance challenges in the Software-Defined Networks (SDN) control plane are conducted. In addition, an approach to the use of default gateway redundancy protocols in the existing Software-Defined Network architecture is proposed. Therefore, within the approach, the redundancy of the virtual controller is organized based on the current protocol implemented in traditional IP networks, and the SDN switch interacts with the virtual controller. This mechanism aims to reduce the amount of circulating overhead (control traffic), and the backup controller’s organization increases the control plane’s reliability. Whereas in hybrid and hierarchical SDN networks with border routers, the GLBP mechanism can be applied, which increases the reliability of the controller connected to the data plane. In addition, there are several scenarios where the controller that manages the operation of the SDN data plane may have multiple backup controllers to switch in case of failure, or a controller pool is used to manage each network that makes up the SDN data plane. It also highlights promising future areas for research and development to improve Software-Defined Network resilience, which contributes to the emergence of new solutions. Thus, future research directions are seen in proposing mathematical flow-based models of fault-tolerant interaction of the control plane and the data plane based on redundancy. At the same time, setting the problem in an optimization form with the implementation of load balancing will help to use available network resources effectively.

Software-Defined Networks (SDN), as newly proposed network architecture, has a great potential in optimizing network traffics. In SDN, the control plane is separated from the data plane. With the help of the centralized controller, we can gather information of the network in real time. In this work, we propose a practical two-stage approach for traffic engineering that takes advantages of SDN. The approach not only assures every newly injected flow gets a suitable route that does not have too much payload on it, but also schedules the overall flows so that they are distributed more equally in the network. Furthermore, we demonstrate its efficiency in terms of port speed and compared it with port speed under the default routing decision. We also use linear programming to find the optimal solution and compare it with our result.

In recent years many claims about the limitations of todays’ network architecture, its lack of flexibility and ability to response to ongoing changes and increasing users demands. In this regard, new network architectures are proposed. Software Defined Networking (SDN) is one of these new architectures which centralizes the control of network by separating control plane from data plane. This separation leads to intelligence, flexibility and easier control in computer networks. One of the advantages of this framework is the ability to implement and test new protocols and architectures in actual networks without any concern of interruption.Named Data Networking (NDN) is another paradigm for future network architecture. With NDN the network becomes aware of the content that is providing, rather than just transferring it among end-points. NDN attracts researchers’ attention and known as the potential future of networking and internet. Providing NDN functionalities over SDN is an important requirement to enable the innovation and optimization of network resources. In this paper first we describe about SDN and NDN, and then we introduce methods for implementing NDN using SDN. We also point out the advantages and applications of implementing NDN over SDN.

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.
