Performance Evaluation of Load Balancing Algorithms for SDN

SDN is the only domain which brought the programmability, simplicity, and flexibility to the networks. Using SDN, the same architecture can be used for many applications like switches, routers, hubs, etc. This versatility of architecture was never before seen in any domain which makes SDN the future of networking. Today due to the increase in the service requirement there is more load on the server this may result in Latency/Delay or sometimes the link failure or server crash. To avoid this latency or link failure or server crash there must be a Load Balancer between the client and server to handle this load. In this project a topology is created and different load balancing applications are deployed to evaluate their performance.
