摘      要：Software Defined Networking(SDN)is programmable by separation of forwarding control through the centralization of the *** controller plays the role of the‘brain’that dictates the intelligent part of SDN *** versions of SDN controllers exist as a response to the diverse demands and functions expected of *** are several SDN controllers available in the open market besides a large number of commercial controllers;some are developed tomeet carrier-grade service levels and one of the recent trends in open-source SDN controllers is the Open Network Operating System(ONOS).This paper presents a comparative study between open source SDN controllers,which are known as Network Controller Platform(NOX),Python-based Network Controller(POX),component-based SDN framework(Ryu),Java-based OpenFlow controller(Floodlight),OpenDayLight(ODL)and *** discussion is further extended into ONOS architecture,as well as,the evolution of ONOS *** article will review use cases based on ONOS controllers in several application ***,the opportunities and challenges of open source SDN controllers will be discussed,exploring carriergrade ONOS for future real-world deployments,ONOS unique features and identifying the suitable choice of SDN controller for service *** addition,we attempt to provide answers to several critical questions relating to the implications of the open-source nature of SDN controllers regarding vendor lock-in,interoperability,and standards compliance,Similarly,real-world use cases of organizations using open-source SDN are highlighted and how the open-source community contributes to the development of SDN ***,challenges faced by open-source projects,and considerations when choosing an open-source SDN controller are *** the role of Artificial Intelligence(AI)and Machine Learning(ML)in the evolution of open-source SDN controllers in light of recent research is *** ad
