EXPLORING THE POSSIBILITIES OF A SELF-REGULATING SDN CONTROLLER

As the number of networked devices increases, traditional routing algorithms tend to be non-optimal for mesh topologies. With the power of controlling the data flows in Software Defined Networks, a controller can implement a dynamic communication path for each flow. If, in the same context, the controller would also implement a history evaluation algorithm combined with a genetic search method, it could achieve a dynamic resource allocation that tends to an optimal solution. This paper proposes the implementation of such a system on top of an Open Flow controller.
