Abstract
In a Software Defined Network (SDN), a source SDN switch in a source geographic area generates switch performance data. The source SDN switch detects when its switch performance reaches a switch performance threshold based on its switch performance data, and in response, the source SDN switch transfers source switch information. An SDN controller receives the source switch information and selects a target SDN switch in a target geographic area based on the switch performance threshold and the source geographic area. The SDN controller transfers the source switch information to the target SDN switch in the target geographic area. The target SDN switch generates switch performance data and detects when SDN performance reaches a network performance threshold based on its switch performance data and the source switch information. The target SDN transfers SDN performance information to the SDN controller.
