Abstract :
An algorithm on automatic topology discovery in OpenFlow supported software defined networks is proposed. The proposed algorithm utilizing link layer discovery protocol allows to obtain the whole network topology by the network controller. We have validated the successful operation of our algorithm through simulation and real network tests seperately, and shown that it scales linearly.
