Abstract: The present invention relates to a software defined optical network controller deployment method based on multi-path survivability protection, and belongs to the technical field of networks, which is applied to the deployment of layer 2 SDN controllers. On the premise of ensuring the requirements of users for the survivability of the control plane, a multi-controller multi-path cooperative control of switching nodes is proposed to further reduce the number of controllers and control the cost.
