OSPF cost impact analysis on SDN network

Software Defined-Network is a new technology in the network engineering. This technology allows a server which is called by a controller and it controls all connected devices. All configurations and resources of network devices become centralized to the controller. One of them is routing configuration. This makes it easier for network administrators to configure routing on complex networks. This study focused on OSPF implementation and QoS performance analysis on SDN networks. OSPF implementation can be configured using cost and no cost. This configuration can be done as a configuration of cost settings on conventional networks. It affects the selection of main data paths on OSPF routing. This implementation in this research used the Mikrotik devices. Data retrieval involves convergence time and some QoS parameters such as Throughput, PLR, Jitter and Delay. In testing phase used traffic data which generated by iperf and D-ITG with variations of existing data types. The goal of this research is to find the best routing configuration on SDN networks, especially in OSPF. This research can be expanded with the various parameters and complex topology.
