Abstract:
Load Balancing is one of the efficiency measures of a network that are popular in data centers for efficient traffic management of huge data. Various load balancing algorithms are known to perform better in specific network architectures. Software-Defined Network (SDN) is a new paradigm in which the data plane and the control plane are decoupled while they are coupled together in the traditional networks. Path finding and Path selection are two major phases of any load balancing algorithm. Path finding refers to the algorithms that find paths between sender and receiver.
