A novel method of organisation of a software defined network control system

Abstract

In this paper, we offer a new method for solving control tasks in software-defined networks for use in corporate networks. Its main feature is the ability to increase failure free operation due to employing distributed computing resources available in the corporate network. To achieve the ability of effective usage of personal computers, our proposed method uses a multi-agent approach, where a proactive agent controls every personal computer and the process of task solution is dispatched in a decentralised way through interactions of agents. To solve every control task, the agents of the system collaborate and thus facilitate dispatch and computation.
