Load Balancer Using Software-Defined Network – POX

Project Goals

• POX is a popular Python based open source SDN controller with the help of which we can easily check the configuration of a customized networking environment.
• Our project will easily setup the CDN(Content-Delivery Network) environments using POX loadbalancer
• The POX loadbalancer is modified by our team using Round-Robin Algorithm(prev: Random Select)

What is CDN?

• A content delivery network or content distribution network (CDN) is a large distributed system of proxy servers deployed in multiple data centers via the Internet. The goal of a CDN is to serve content to end-users with high availability and high performance.

Project Requirements

• SDN Controller: POX (dart branch)
  • Language:Python 1.7 based on POX controller
  • Topology/VM: Mininet VM Seed
  • WAS: Node.js / Express.js
