Reliability and Scalability in SDN network

Abstract

In Chapter 1, we give an introduction about SDN and background, context, purposes and significance, scope and Definitions mentioned in this thesis. In Chapter 2, we discuss literature review and historical background regarding this thesis including criticizing the traditional models as hierarchical controllers, distributed controllers and failover controller. Finally, we summarize these architectures and mention the implication that leads us to develop a new model in this thesis. In Chapter 3, we describe in details our proposed model MDCF. We make an introduction about Reliability solution without Scalability and Scalability solution without reliability. After that, we go deeply in our model design and indicate the states of model and system implementation. In Chapter 4, we give a comprehensive evaluation with results and compare our model MDMCF with single controller. In Chapter 5, we make conclusion and discuss future work. Thesis supervisors:
