The Software Defined Networking (SDN) is a solution for Data Center Networks (DCN). This solution offers a centralized control that helps to simplify the management and reduce the big data issues of storage management and data analysis. This paper investigates the performance of deploying an SDN controller in DCN. The paper considers the network topology with a different number of hosts using the Mininet emulator. The paper evaluates the performance of DCN based on Python SDN controllers with a different number of hosts. This evaluation compares POX and RYU controllers as DCN solutions using the throughput, delay, overhead, and convergence time. The results show that the POX outperforms the RYU controller and is the best choice for DCN.

In recent time it has become very crucial for the data center networks (DCN) to broaden the system limit to be able to meet with the increasing need of cloud based applications. A decent DCN topology must comprise of numerous properties for low diameter, high bisection bandwidth, ease of organization and so on. In addition, a DCN topology should depict aptness in failure resiliency, scalability, construction and routing. In this paper, we introduce a new Data Center Network topology termed LevelTree built up with several modules grows as a tree topology and each module is constructed from a complete graph. LevelTree demonstrates great topological properties and it beats critical topologies like Jellyfish, VolvoxDC, and Fattree regarding providing a superior worthwhile plan with greater capacity.
