1	Implementing and Experimenting with OpenMUL Scalability in Software Defined Network Shivalika Singh, Bhargavi Goswami, Joy Paulose, Libin Thomas Abstract - Traditional networks are plagued by many disadvantages. One of the major problems affecting networks is that software updates for networking devices such as routers or switches are always vendor controlled. This led to the birth of a new networking phenomenon known as software defined networking (SDN). Unlike traditional networking devices which have their individual control and data planes, SDN architecture offers a common, centralized control plane for all networking devices that are attached to a network. The brain of an SDN network is the controller which sits in the control plane and takes care of all requests within a network. Thus, it is crucial to choose a controller which can be scaled according to the dynamic changes in the network. One of the popular choices for a controller during the creation of an SDN environment is OpenMUL. In this paper, authors evaluate the performance of OpenMUL in terms of scalability by taking multiple scenarios into account which demonstrates incremental growth in the number of hosts configured to the SDN network. These scenarios are simulated using networking tools such as Mininet, OpenMUL and iPerf. The variations in performance metrics are observed and analyzed rigorously for each of the defined scenarios..
