Obviously, we are providing the appropriate research service for the research scholars to enhance their research projects in software defined network (SDN).

List of SDN Controllers

      In general, there are several SDN controllers and we have highlighted the notable SDN controllers along with its specifications.

• Ryu
• It is denoted as the component based software defined networking framework and it provides software components along with the API to create the network management and control applications
• Floodlight
• It is an open source and Java based OpenFlow controller
• OpenDaylight
• It is the software defined networking process with computer network device monitoring and open centralized process
• Open vSwitch
• It is considered as an open source implementation of the distributed virtual multilayer switch and it provide the switching stack for hardware virtualization environments
• POX
• It is the OpenFlow controller and functioning as the OpenFlow switch
• Beacon
• It is the java based OpenFlow controller to build on OSGI framework to permit the OpenFlow applications

Best SDN Controller

      From the above mentioned list of SDN controllers, Ryu is considered as the best SDN controller. While comparing with other SDN controllers, it is supportive for various protocols for managing the network devices including,

• OF-config
• Netconf
• OpenFlow
• In OpenFlow, Ryu is considered as the supportive for the 1.0, 1.2, 1.3, 1.4, 1.5 and Nicira extensions. In addition, the code is freely available over the Apache 2.0 license

Install Ryu Controller

      Now, let’s have a look at the process of installing Ryu controller through the utilization of below mentioned methods.

• Installation using source code

git clone git://github.com/osrg/ryu.git

cd ryu; python ./setup.py install

• Installation using pip command

pip install ryu

       To this end, we hopefully conveyed the best SDN controller along with specifications through the above mentioned steps. In addition, you can ping us to clarify your issues.
