Simple routing algorithm with link discovery between source and destination hosts in SDN networks

The worldwide expansion of the network devices led to difficulties with network management and routing mechanisms related to dynamic adapting to the network needs. SDN provides a centralized global network view, maintenance, and management of network devices with vendor-specific configurations. Its main focus is routing the network traffic, load balancing the network, and improving the QoS. This paper proposes a Simple Routing algorithm with Link Discovery between source and destination hosts in SDN networks.
