Abstract

The idea of Software-Defined Networking is rapidly growing. Providers have made use of the idea of Software-Defined Networking has a lot of advantages, despite the challenges they face. There is a possible scalability issue with relying on a single controller in future networks. In order to overcome these conventional network-based problems, a newly emerging technology Software Defined Networking (SDN) has been implemented which vastly simplifies the data plane and control plane and makes the network fully programmable. This project proposes an approach to a load balancer with the implementation of SDN. The algorithm using for SDN Load Balancing is Round Robin. The design topology consists of the SDN switch and the Open Day Light controller. The packet entries are stored in the flow table stored in the data plane. The project separates the control and data plane and regulates the controller using Open Day Light controller. Such isolation makes it easier to manage the load balancers. Using this method, the process is explicitly programmable and agile. Requests from different clients will be guided to different pre-defined servers in Round-Robin mode.
