Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractA Novel Time-Based Switch Migration Method (TSSM) for Load Balancing in Distributed Software-Defined NetworkingThangaraj E, Dinesh K, Prabhakaran Paulraj et al.Switch migration is predominantly used for workload balancing in distributed Software Defined Network (SDN) controllers. The Time-Sharing Switch Migration (TSSM) technique allowed the switch's responsibility to be divided based on the time duration condition of overload, which resulted in fewer overload events, fewer ping-pong controller issues, and more efficient controllers. However, it has higher controller resource utilization during TSSM working … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 22, Issue 3 · 6 Mar 2026 · 1,591 accessesView PDFCite
