With the evolution of software defined network, it will be widely used to use SDN's architecture to study the data center network. Because data center network is the infrastructure of cloud computing and the next generation of network technology, the explosive growth of network data not only meet the need of users, but also increase the energy consumption. Aiming at data center network energy saving problem, an energy efficient routing algorithm of the data center network is proposed based on software defined network. This algorithm use the multinomial logit model to select a minimum of energy transmission path for each network flow, and then, scheduling the network traffic according to the priority. Experimental results show that the proposed energy efficient routing algorithm can effectively improve the energy efficiency of the data center network.
