Abstract:
The increasing digitization of various industrial sectors, such as automotive, transportation, urban mobility, telecommunications, among others, reveals the need for using point-to-multipoint communications services, such as constantly updating software and reliably delivering messages users, as well as optimizing the use of hardware and software resources. The implementation of Software Defined Networks (SDN) provides the network with the flexibility and programming capabilities needed to accurately and reliably support point-to-multipoint distribution services. This paper presents an account of the activities implemented to produce the performance evaluation of the SDN controllers. We identified the metrics used in the literature to perform performance evaluation of SDN controllers. The mechanisms adopted were used to describe the performance evaluation environment and the respective operating processes of the controllers. Besides, a methodology is proposed to perform the performan
ce evaluation of the controllers.
