Performance Analysis of ONOS and Floodlight SDN Controllers based on TCP and UDP Traffic

Software-Defined Networking (SDN) is newly originated network architecture. SDN characterizes by flexible, dynamic, cost-effective, and convenient to manage. This article essentially provides two OpenFlow-enabled controllers, i.e., Floodlight controller and ONOS controller. A performance comparison of both controllers is tested over different network topologies (single, linear and tree). The analyzing of controllers based on some metrics such as transfer, Delay, bandwidth and jitter using an efficient network simulator called Mininet. The ONOS show better performance compared to Floodlight in both TCP and UDP traffic in network.
