Abstract

Software Defined Networking (SDN) is a new networking paradigm where control plane is separated from data plane. Over the past several years, SDN has emerged as a compelling paradigm for developing and deploying new network capabilities and services. OpenFlow is the most commonly deployed Software Defined Networking architecture. Multiple networking switches can be controlled by a single centralized controlled OpenFlow controller. Different Python and Java based OpenFlow controller are available for Software Defined Networking. This paper implements Ryu, POX and Pyretic OpenFlow based Python controller in tree networking topology over Software Defined Networking. The result of this paper shows that these Python based OpenFlow controller performs well over SDN. All the implementation of different controller has been done using Mininet Emulator. The result of this paper also shows Pyretic controller has an excellent performance over Software Defined Networking compare to POX and Ryu Controller.
