Performance Evaluation of Domain Isolation Multi-controller in Software Defined Networking Architecture on Mininet

Abstract

Abstract The growing digitalization of the automotive, transportation, urban mobility, and telecommunications industries highlights the significance of point-to-multipoint communication services. These services are essential for maximizing the efficiency of hardware and software resources and ensuring that users consistently receive software updates and communications. In order to implement precise and dependable point-to-multipoint distribution services within the network, software-defined networking (SDN) is used. SDN controllers like RYU, Floodlight, and others have become the de facto standard for operating these kinds of networks. An SDN multi-controller's efficiency greatly affects the underlying SDN infrastructure network's adaptability and capabilities. This research applied of Mininet emulator to develop a multi-controller SDN architecture with a Fat-Tree topology and two RYU controllers. Throughput, latency, and round-trip time are some of the node-to-node performance metrics that will be used to evaluate the effectiveness of a Domain Isolation Multi-controller network architecture.
