Research on switch migration method based on minimum cost path by Yingxu LAI, Yewei PU, Jing LIU

“…In order to protect the controller,especially the controller in backbone network,from security threats and attacks,improve the security of the software-defined network (SDN) control plane,a switch migration algorithm based on minimum cost path was proposed.A load prediction module was added to the migration model,which executed a controller load prediction algorithm to obtain a load prediction matrix,and then a migration-target controller set was determined according to the load prediction matrix.The improved Dijkstra algorithm was used to determine the minimum cost path.According to the load state of the controller and the traffic priority of the switch to be migrated,the optimal migration switch set was determined.The problem of isolated nodes was solved that may occur during the migration process.The experimental results show that the migration timing of the algorithm is more reasonable,the selection of the migration controller and the target controller is more reasonable,the load balancing of the control plane is realized,the number of migrations and cost are reduced,and the performance of the controller is improved.…”
