Cost Effective Network Flow Measurement for Software Defined Networks: A Distributed Controller Scenario

Software-defined networking (SDN) has emerged as an evolutionary paradigm in datacenter networks by separating data from control plane and centralizing network decision making. Traffic flow measurement in SDN is relatively lightweight in comparison to the traditional methods. It enables flow measure...

Traffic flow measurement in SDN is relatively lightweight in comparison to the traditional methods. It enables flow measurement system to overcome the issues of traditional measurement systems, such as cost and accuracy by employing a centralized controller. Nevertheless, a full physically centralized controller introduces negative impacts on the network as well as the measurement system (i.e., introducing extra overhead or accuracy issues).
