摘要：The main aim of this paper is to provide detailed description on the Distributed SDN control plane inSDN and make survey on the fail over mechanisms of the Distributed SDN controller. The Software DefinedNetworking, is the currently emerging technology which have a centralized control plane and distributed data planes.Issue with a centralized control plane is that there can be a Single Point of Failure (SPOF). To avoid SPOF, distributedSDN controllers can be used, it can provide resiliency and scalability. The Distributed SDN control plane can be eithera cluster architecture of SDN controller or a tree architecture of SDN controller. The failover mechanisms of distributedSDN control plane is a vast area, where enormous research is possible. The fail over mechanism in distributed SDNcontroller can be broadly classified into two: the SDN controllers with back up and SDN controllers without backup.The goal of this paper is to make survey on the distributed SDN controller architecture and the fail over mechanisms ofSDN controllers in distributed environment.
