DCF: Dynamic cluster flow architecture for SDN control plane

Software Defined Networking is considered as the new telecom revolution. Within SDN the control plane acts as the brain of the network and should be designed in the most efficient manner. In this paper we propose a novel architecture to deploy the controllers in a SDN based network. We distribute the controllers into clusters which are managed dynamically by a super controller. We develop a load balancing algorithm to avoid overloaded controllers and prove that our solution outperform the existing ones in term of complexity.
