Abstract

This paper presents an analysis on the application of the Floodlight controller in order to demonstrate the possibilities of the test combination in a simulated environment of Software Defined Networks (SDN) through the Mininet simulator. Through experiments it was possible to realize that in most cases, Floodlight was able to get better or equal results to the native controller. Thus, a great versatility of the Mininet simulator was observed, allowing the creation of customized SDN structures.
