Abstract
Software defined networking (SDN) has emerged as effective paradigm in which the working principle was based on the separation of data plane from the control plane. This approach has proved to be quite advantageous in terms of its flexibility and programmability, thus enhancing better service provisioning and innovative network management. Despite the high results and improved expectations from the approach, one of the major challenges that the system faces is the level of network stability that the approach offers. We then tend to opined that based on our findings in literature, only few articles have addressed the level of network stability that SDN paradigm is offering as well as its improvements. Several approaches include basically the deployment of efficient routing protocols to ensure that the network attains some level of resilience. Even though the routing plays important role in the network environment, the control of the flow setup connection between the switches and controllers helps to instill better packet delivery with avoidance of network failure. We introduced a dynamic mapping orchestrator engine into the network setup which helps to unburden the controllers, as well determine the need for switching to either single, double or multiple mapping of switches to controllers. We evaluated the proposed approach by determining the average flow setup time, the QoS produced in terms of throughput and the fairness of the switching between the mappings of switches to controllers. The stability of the proposed approach was estimated to have been improved by 22% over the existing approach.
