Efficient Load Balancing in Software Defined Networks

As Individual routing adjustment strategies usually take remarkable time to pursue load balance and network stability in Software Defined Networks (SDNs), this paper presents two different routing adjustment strategies-the Global and Partial strategies-to reduce such time consumption. Experimental evaluation has been conducted to check the performance of the three routing adjustment strategies (i.e., Individual, Global and Partial). The results exhibit our Global and Partial strategies perform more favorably because both of them can secure load balance and network stability more efficiently.
