Scalability of Floodlight Controller in SDNs Experimentation
This study delves into the potential limitations and advancements in Software Defined Networks (SDNs) through experimental analysis of the Floodlight Controller's scalability. It explores the challenges in current network setups, the essence of SDN, the Floodlight SDN Controller, simulation environments, and the impact of OpenFlow technology. Results on throughput and latency for different host configurations are also discussed.

Experimenting with Scalability of Floodlight Controller in Software Defined Networks Conclusion With this paper, authors have made attempt to address the scalability features of the Floodlight controller by implementing various diversified scenarios in simulation experimental environment. In this paper, authors have provided the clear idea how to create experimental test bed with analysis of obtained statistical results keeping the performance as the central focus. We would conclude this paper by providing positive sign to move forward to the researchers who are looking for implementation of their idea over Floodlight Controller in the domain of Software Defined Networks without any doubt. The controller not just provide the simulation experimental test bed support but, also provides clear explanation for analysis of obtained statistics after the experiments are simulated. The tools suggested, simulated, shown through figures and graphs will help the research community to further conduct such experiments in the future by implementing their desired parameters though these experiments. This paper will also address the programmers, developers and new bees in the area of SDN, who are looking forward to touch the practical aspects of the SDN by following step by step implementations provided in the paper. Further, the research team will come up with few more papers on implementation of other SDN controllers in the coming future. The team also has planned to compare the controllers of SDN, once all the stellar controllers are implemented and experimented by them. 9
