Software defined networks (SDN) are a modern trend in building new generation computer networks. SDN provide flexibility and control in managing data flows in the network, as well as a given level of quality of service for applications. The purpose of the work is to develop a scientific approach of intelligent multipath routing in SDN based on bird migration algorithm. The article studies and analyzes the bird migration algorithm to solve the problem of multipath routing in SDN. A visual software system SDNLoadBalancer has been developed and an experimental topology of SDN has been designed, which makes it possible to study in detail the processes of multipath routing in SDN based on proposed approach. The paper compares the proposed approach with the results of the work of the classical genetic algorithm and the artificial bee colony algorithm. The results of experimental studies have shown the effectiveness of the application of bird migration algorithm in solving the problem of multipath routing in SDN, made it possible to obtain results close to optimal in an acceptable time, and also reduce the transmission delay jitter in the network.
Key words: software defined networks, SDNLoadBalancer, intelligent multipath routing, OpenFlow protocol, swarm algorithms, bird migration algorithm.
