Performance Assessment of Multi-Controller in Software Defined Network

In a network design, the control plane and the data plane are separated by the architectural concept of software defined networking (SDN). A centralised controller that serves as the only point of control for the whole network is introduced by the SDN architecture. The controller serves as a logically centralized entity in charge of communicating the appropriate rules to a switch's flow table. Using a single controller to handle a lot of flows becomes insufficient. A lot of large-scale networks have employed multi-controller SDN to meet their objectives. In this research, we use a multi-controller infinite buffer waiting queue model to analyze the system performance metrics. Both numerical and simulated assessments are used to illustrate the proposed model.
