Análise Comparativa de Controladores SDN: Uma Avaliação com Base em Desempenho, Escalabilidade e Facilidade de Uso

Abstract

The proposed undergraduate thesis, titled "Comparative Analysis of SDN Controllers: An Assessment Based on Performance, Scalability, and Ease of Use," aims to explore and compare three prominent SDN controllers: OpenDaylight, Floodlight, and Ryu. Grounded in Software Defined Networking (SDN), an innovative approach to network management, the study underscores the critical importance of selecting the appropriate SDN controller. The methodology involves configuring a test environment with Mininet, evaluating performance, scalability, and ease of use, and conducting a comparative analysis of the results. The research contributes to both practical and theoretical understanding of SDN controller selection, providing valuable insights for professionals and researchers. The proposal highlights the relevance of the research in the current SDN landscape, outlining objectives, methodology, expected results, and ethical considerations, solidifying its significance in the field.
