“…The Mininet tool is then utilized to construct a custom network for the SDN environment. Mininet is a network simulator that implements the OpenFlow protocol and can construct any arbitrary network consisting of hosts, switches, and connections [33]. Even though network elements are formed by software, they are considered real-world features.…”

“…Controllers such as Hyperflow [38], Kandoo [39], and, ONOS [22] provide a series of distributed controllers and each controller has an equivalent global view of network topology [40]. The distributed controller controls the entire network while preserving sophisticated requirements such as performance metrics, security, load balancing, efficiency, good features, stable architecture, availability, fault tolerance, and efficient convergence time [23,[33][34][35][36][37][38][39][40][41].…”

“…Some of the controllers met some performance requirements better than others but failed in some other aspects. Even though the distributed control architecture is considered a scalable solution when compared to the centralized control model, the capability of the SDN controller to assure service continuity while preserving high performance requires proper attention to any proposal or design [33].…”

The increasing need for automated networking platforms like the Internet of Things, as well as network services like cloud computing, big data applications, wireless networks, mobile Internet, and virtualization, has driven existing networks to their limitations. Software-defined network (SDN) is a new modern programmable network architectural technology that allows network administrators to control the entire network consistently and logically centralized in software-based controllers and network devices become just simple packet forwarding devices. The controller that is the network's brain, is mostly based on the OpenFlow protocol and has distinct characteristics that vary depending on the programming language. Its function is to control network traffic and increase network resource efficiency. Therefore, selecting the right controllers and monitoring their performance to increase resource usage and enhance network performance metrics is required. For network performance metrics analysis, the study proposes an implementation of SDN architecture utilizing an open-source OpenDaylight (ODL) distributed SDN controller. The proposed work evaluates the deployment of distributed SDN controller performance on three distinct customized network topologies based on SDN architecture for node-to-node performance metrics such as delay, throughput, packet loss, and bandwidth use. The experiments are conducted using the Mininet emulation tool. Wireshark is used to collect and analyse packets in real-time. The results obtained from the comparison of networks are presented to provide useful guidelines for SDN research and deployment initiatives.

From the last decades different types of network schemes are pitched to enhance the user performance. Software Defined Networks (SDN) is also considered as important factor for different network schemes and its proper administration or management. Due to major deployment in today’s networking era SDN are further sub divided in to commercial and open-source controllers. Commercial and open-source controllers are utilized in different type of businesses. According to our knowledge considerable amount of literature is available on these controllers but did not provide or analyse performance of these controllers on different network parameters. This paper evaluates and compares the performance of two well-known SDN open-source controllers POX and RYU with two performance assessments. The first assessment is the implementation of optimal path by using Dijkstra's algorithm from source to destination. Second assessment is the creation of a custom topology in our desired tool (MiniNet emulator). Then, the performance in terms of QoS parameters such as Jitter, throughput, packet loss, and packet delivery ratio are computed by two end hosts in each network. After the assessments, the performance of POX are optimal as compare to the RYU and best suited to be deployed in any scenario.
