Abstract
The concept of Software-Defined Networking are growing quickly. The service providers used the concept of Software-Defined Networking has a lot of benefits, despite this they facing challenges too. The traffic distribution between multiple available paths is one of the urgent problem. Taking advantage of the global view of network topology by controller, a load balance algorithm based on current information about processors utilization on service equipment and channel load is proposed in the paper. The proposed algorithm allows to avoid channel overload due to the reservation of residual value of channel bandwidth.
