Even though network management with Software-Defined Network (SDN) is flexible, the increasing network complexity and fast-moving data traffic necessitate effective management solutions. We present a unique load-balancing method for SDN network management by dynamically distributing the traffic according to predefined criteria and current network conditions. Through the utilization of SDN controllers’ centralized control, our method optimizes traffic distribution, lowers latency, and boosts network performance in general. Simulations over a range of network settings show how effective the method is. We created a load balancing framework that works flawlessly with SDN architectures that are already in place and carried out thorough performance assessments. We examined two scenarios: one with load balancing and the other without, utilizing different traffic types (TCP, ICMP) and varied numbers of hosts. We carefully examined metrics including latency, packet loss, jitter, CPU consumption, memory usage, and bandwidth usage. The outcomes of the simulation demonstrate notable enhancements in both load distribution and network resilience. Better resource use resulted from optimized CPU and memory usage, which also reduced latency and packet loss. Additionally, the average server response time decreased, demonstrating the algorithm’s resilience to higher loads. According to our research, the suggested approach provides a reliable means of improving contemporary network management and paves the way for network infrastructures that are more flexible and adaptive.
