Abstract

Software Defined Networking, or SDN, based networks are being deployed not only in testbed networks, but also in production networks. Although fault-tolerance is one of the most desirable properties in production networks, there are not much study in providing fault-tolerance to SDN-based networks. The goal of this work is to develop a fault tolerant SDN architecture that can rapidly recover from faults and scale to large network sizes. This paper presents CORONET, a SDN fault-tolerant system that recovers from multiple link failures in the data plane. We describe a prototype implementation based on NOX that demonstrates fault recovery for emulated topologies using Mininet. We also discuss possible extensions to handle control plane and controller faults.
