Abstract

To ensure the safety of data transmission in SDN network, a practical approach is to forward data by time division in multiple reachable paths. Considering multiple data transmission processes between the sender and the receiver based on the mechanism above, the overlap of the paths is inevitable, which may make the utilization rate of some switches or critical paths too high and other switches are relatively idle, then the transmission efficiency would be too low. This paper put forward a path selection algorithm based on graph-cut to solve the problem. Also, taking switch weight under consideration. In addition, effectiveness is taken into account. Considering to the large scale of actual networks and uneven occupancy rate of switches, this algorithm reflects its advantage.
