Michael Jarschel, Christopher Metter, Thomas Zinner, Steffen Gebert, Phuoc Tran‐Gia · 2014
Controller performance and behavior are key to the operation of an SDN network. Therefore, choosing the right controller implementation and corresponding set of applications is essential. In order to facilitate this decision we previously introduced a tool for controller performance analysis called “OFCBenchmark”. In this paper, we present “OFCProbe” a platform-independent and extended re-design of our original approach. We describe the new architecture and explain the implemented features. Finally, we provide some sample results to illustrate the kind of investigations that can be performed using the tool.
