Description
To meet the requirements of modern IT, it is crucial to address the numerous limitations of current cloud computing networking infrastructures. One promising solution to overcome these constraints is Software Defined Networking (SDN). SDN is an innovative networking approach that utilizes software-based controllers or APIs to manage and direct network traffic on top of underlying hardware infrastructure. SDN plays a major role in Cloud Computing in that it allows users to address different changes quickly as they come. One of its major advantages is that it streamlines the network configuration procedure and boosts network monitoring and performance. This study aims to implement various load-balancing algorithms for SDN to analyze the network performance. The implementation uses the POX controller as an SDN controller and Mininet software to emulate the network. The load-balancing algorithms are programmed using Python, which is also employed to create the network topology. The findings demonstrate that the Weighted Round Robin algorithm outperforms all the other algorithms that were evaluated.
