Résumé
Software-defined networking (SDN) is a growing concept that allows the separation of the control layer from the data layer, making the network programmable, and having a centralized view and management of the network. The control layer is an important component of the network because it is composed of controllers that play a role in supervising and controlling the entire SDN network. For efficient traffic management in SDN, it is essential to have a high-performance controller. In this paper, a performance analysis of Floodlight, ONOS, OpenDaylight (ODL) and Ryu controllers is analyzed. A custom network topology is created with Mininet. The ping and iperf tools are also used to evaluate the four controllers based on bandwidth utilization, jitter, packet transmission rate, round-trip time (rtt), and throughput. Our analysis reveals that in terms of jitter, bandwidth utilization, and throughput, ONOS has the best performance. Floodlight has better performance in terms of round-trip time (rtt) and ODL provides better performance in terms of transmission rate.
