Abstract
In this paper, we propose a load distribution scheme in SDN utilizing load redirection, enabling incoming messages to be migrated to another controller. Specifically, when the capacity of a controller reaches a threshold, the controller makes incoming packets be migrated to a less-loaded controller to prevent them from being blocked. Analytical result shows that our scheme has lower blocking probability than the conventional scheme.
