%X Software Defined Networking (SDN) has receivedconsiderable attention for both experimental and real networks. Theprogrammability of the centralized control plane utilizes the globalview of the network to provide better solutions for complex problemsin SDN. This results in an increase in robustness and reliability ofnetwork functions running in SDN. This paper is motivated by recentadvancement in SDN and increasing popularity of multicastingapplications by proposing a technique to increase the resiliency ofmulticasting in SDN. Multicasting is a group communicationtechnology, which uses the network infrastructure efficiently bysending the data only once from one or multiple sources to a groupof receivers. Multicasting applications, e.g., live video streamingand video conferencing, are popular and delay sensitive applicationsin the Internet. Failures in the ongoing multicast session can causepacket losses and delay and hence affect quality of service (QoS).In this paper, we present a technique to protect a multicasting treeconstructed by Openflow switches in SDN. The proposed algorithm candetect link or node failures from the multicasting tree and thendetermines which part of the multicasting tree requires changes inthe flow table to recover from the failure. We also implement aprototype of the algorithm in the POX controller and measure itsperformance by emulating failures in different tree topologies inMininet.
