SDN-based server clusters with dynamic load balancing and performance improvement

Software-defined networking (SDN) is a state-of-the-art architectural approach to network management that allows more flexible management of a complicated large-scale network. For providing services with high performance, availability, and scalability, server clustering is widely used. This study develops a server cluster based on OpenFlow, which is the most common SDN protocol. To utilize cluster resources effectively, this study focuses on the...
