Software Defined Networking (SDN) is a relatively new networking architecture that has become the most widely discussed networking technology in recent years and the latest development in the field of developing digital networks, which aims to break down the traditional connection in the middle of the control surface and the infrastructure surface. The goal of this separation is to make resources more manageable, secure, and controllable. As a result, many controllers such as Beacon, Floodlight, Ryu, OpenDayLight (ODL), Open Network Operating System (ONOS), NOX, as well as Pox, have been developed. The selection of the finest-fit controller has evolved into an application-specific tool operation due to the large range of SDN applications and controllers. This paper discusses SDN, a new paradigm of networking in which the architecture transitions from a completely distributed form to a more centralized form and evaluates and contrasts the effects of various SDN controllers on SDN. This report examines some SDN controllers or the network’s “brains,” shows how they differ from one another, and compares them to see which is best overall. The presentation of SDN controllers such as Ryu, ODL, and others is compared by utilizing the Mininet simulation environment. In this study, we offer a variety of controllers before introducing the tools used in the paper: Mininet. Then, we run an experiment to show how to use ODL to establish a custom network topology on a Mininet. The experimental results show that the O controller, with its larger bandwidth and reduced latency, outperforms other controllers in all topologies (both the default topology and a custom topology with ODL).
