The conventional networks are under additional strain as a result of rising users and new technologies. To remedy the problem, traffic management technologies have been employed. This traffic management involves things like balancing the load and scheduling based on the quality of service, among other things. Load balancing is a crucial part of managing and monitoring data traffic between resources. SDN controllers have such a large view of the whole network, which aids in the creation of load balancing techniques that are more efficient. To acquire a better outcome in terms of latency, network speed, fault tolerance, and resource usage, we added a mechanism that employs all algorithms such as round robin, random, weighted round robin, and least connection algorithms. We got mininet simulation results utilising the POX controller in this research, which resulted in better throughput than other existing techniques.
