Abstract
System and method of providing SDN network service management by use of a distributed control system that comprises a hierarchy of controllers. The distributed control system includes regional controllers and one or more root controllers. A respective regional controller is configured to control a set of network devices and maintain regional network map related thereto. A respective root controller is configured to control a group of regional controllers and maintain a global network map across regions of the SDN. The root controllers can synchronize the global network map with each other and its subordinate controllers. A root controller may not be activated for packet transmission route determination unless its subordinate regional controller is unequipped with sufficient information to determine a requested route.
