Abstract
Software Defined Networking (SDN) is a new approach of managing and programming networks enabled by OpenFlow. For load balancing, a migration among OpenFlowDevice (OFDevice) is needed from heavy-loaded controller to least-loaded controller. During migration of OFDevice, the response time, jitter and packet loss for the end user are high. To address this problem, we propose a method in which the response time, jitter and packet loss are minimized during device migration. In this approach for migrating the optimal OFSwitch, we use-liveness, safety, and serializability. The proposed approach focuses on selecting such a OFDevice which causes minimum load on the controller. The experimental results show that our proposed method improves response time, jitter and packet loss.
