Abstract
Controllers is responsible for the entire network centralized control in SDN (soft-defined network). It attaches great importance to grasping the entire network resources view and improving the quality of network resources delivery. However, centralized controllers call for more responsibility in control apparatus, making the expansibility of the controller plane the key issues of the SDN. This article designs an extensible SDN controller layer. With the use of existing cluster management technology, it avoids single point failure of the controllers and gives full play to every controller. Every controller is able to effectively allocate network resources according to the entire network information, so that the entire network resources can be effectively scheduled.
