Today, the Software-defined Network, with its advantages such as greater reliability via automation, more efficient network management, cost-savings, and faster scalability, is increasingly being deployed in many network systems and network operators. The most common deployment architecture is a distributed system with the existence of many independent domains, each controlled by an SDN controller. One of the well-known applications in SDN is server selection and routing. However, deploying server and route selection in distributed and heterogeneous SDN networks faces two issues. Therefore, this paper proposes an LSTM-based link cost prediction for the server and route selection mechanism in a distributed and heterogeneous SDN network.
