“…Moazzeni et al propose the "Reliable Distributed SDN (RDSDN)" method and a new formula to calculate the reliability rate of the subnetworks, based on the load and considering the number and degree of the nodes as well as the loss rate of the links. 30 The controller with the highest reliability rate is selected to be the coordinator of the whole network, which is responsible for detecting the crash failure of the other controllers and recovering the failure.…”

“…The master controllers calculate the reliability rate of their clusters, based on the number of nodes connected to a controller, and the number of the intracluster and intercluster links and their loss rates using the reliability rate formula, which we had presented in our previous RDSDN method recently. 30 The details of this formula with related proofs are described in the following.…”

“…In contrast, it will create a new packet-out containing its reliability rate and name as payload and will send the packet to the switch connected to the other controller using the data plane network.

“…The time until failure of an SDN controller C can be determined by Weibull distribution as in Equation (16). 30 The Weibull distribution is a versatile distribution that has the ability to assume the characteristics of many different types of distributions. This has made it extremely popular among reliability engineers and quality practitioners, who have made it the most commonly used distribution for modeling reliability data.…”

This paper presents a method to improve the reliability and fault tolerance of distributed software-defined networks. This method is called "BIRDSDN (Byzantine-Resilient Improved Reliable Distributed Software-Defined Networks)." In BIRDSDN, a group communication is implemented among the controllers of the whole clusters. This method can detect the crash failure and Byzantine failure of any controller and undertakes a fast detection and recovery scheme to select the controllers to take over the orphan switches.BIRDSDN takes into account the reliability of the nodes considering the failure probability of intracluster and intercluster links, topology, load, and latency.The numerical results show that this approach performs better than the other approaches regarding failure detection, recovery, latency, throughput, reliability, and packet loss.

Software‐defined networks are a modern architecture in computer networks where traffic transfer is separated from network control. In software‐defined networks, all decisions are made in the controller, and the necessary commands are injected into the network equipment. With the advent of software‐defined networks and the introduction of a new concept called controller in these types of networks, it becomes important to find an appropriate location for the controller and its number in the network. This problem aims to find the location and the optimal number of controllers needed in the network, and how to assign switches to the controllers declined certain constraints. In this article, a method to determine the appropriate location for controllers is proposed, so that the cost of network implementation would be reduced and thus its survivability is improved. Finally, we analyzed the proposed method in terms of evaluation criteria.
