SDN Controller Deployment for QoS Guarantees in Tactical Ad Hoc Networks

Algorithm 1

The controller deployment and data-plane assignment.

Input: The network topology, the objective function and

the constraints

Output: The optimal controller location and assignment <x,

Y>

1.   

2.   Initialize x, Y

3.   For n=1 to do

4.    x ← place() //calculated by CPLEX

5.    Y ← assign() //optimal assignment

6.    Calculate

7.   End

8.   C ←

9.   Return <x, Y>
