In the discussion about Future Internet, Software-Defined Networking (SDN), enabled by OpenFlow, is currently seen as one of the most promising paradigm. While the availability and scalability concerns rises as a single controller could be alleviated by using replicate or distributed controllers, there lacks a flexible mechanism to allow controller load balancing. This paper proposes BalanceFlow, a controller load balancing architecture for OpenFlow networks. By utilizing CONTROLLER X action extension for OpenFlow switches and cross-controller communication, one of the controllers, called “super controller”, can flexibly tune the flow-requests handled by each controller, without introducing unacceptable propagation latencies. Experiments based on real topology show that BalanceFlow can adjust the load of each controller dynamically. |
