Journal: International Journal of Networked and Distributed Computing
Citation : 7

Conclusion

Dr. Amel Abderrahmane survey on the Controller Placement Problem (CPP) in SDN-IoT networks highlights its central role in ensuring scalability, reliability, and efficiency in next-generation infrastructures. By examining existing approaches, it becomes evident that optimal controller placement is a multidimensional challenge influenced by latency, fault tolerance, load balancing, and energy efficiency. Traditional models provide a foundation, but they often struggle to adapt to the heterogeneity and dynamic nature of IoT environments. Recent advancements, such as graph-based techniques and clustering algorithms, demonstrate promising results in improving performance and resilience. However, no single method universally addresses all requirements, indicating the need for hybrid and adaptive solutions. Future research should focus on intelligent, AI-driven strategies that can dynamically adjust placement decisions in real time, considering both network conditions and application demands. Ultimately, solving CPP will significantly enhance the effectiveness of SDN-IoT networks, enabling more reliable and sustainable digital ecosystems.
