In a real SDN Environment, the possibility of using multiple SDN controllers to manage the network exists. SDN controllers such as Ryu, Floodlight, and Pyretic can use OpenDaylight as a controller server to communicate with the network devices. In fact, OpenDaylight will work as an SDN controller server and other SDN controllers will work as SDN controller clients. The OpenDaylight NetIDE project provides portability and cooperation in a single SDN network to achieve multi SDN controller client/server architectures. The main benefits from using the client/server SDN controller architecture is to let network applications that were written for other SDN controllers such as Ryu communicate with OpenDaylight. Also you can dispatch the SDN network management between different SDN controllers based on network needs with smooth integration...
