Annotation: In the context of a digital economy, it is essential to incorporative innovative technologies in the production process to analyze the status of telecommunication networks. This requires solving emerging technical problems through the transition to software-configurable networks. By doing so, the network can be managed more efficiently, resulting in accelerated data transmission by relocating control functions to the controller. Recent research has failed to address the issue of a single point of failure of software-configurable networks, i.e., the controller. However, some scientific papers have proposed an optimal controller placement method to improve the network’s reliability. Protecting redundancy, recovery, and optimal controller placement are the three primary ways to ensure the reliability of software-configurable networks. This article proposes a technique and algorithm for finding the optimal location of the controller on a given communication network.
