In recent years, Software Defined Networking (SDN) has emerged as a pivotal element not only in data-centers and wide-area networks, but also in next generation networking architectures such as Vehicular ad hoc network and 5G. SDN is characterized by decoupled data and control planes, and logically centralized control plane. The centralized control plane in SDN offers several opportunities as well as challenges. A key design choice of the SDN control plane is placement of the controller(s), which impacts a wide range of network issues ranging from latency to resiliency, from energy efficiency to load balancing, and so on. In this paper, we present a comprehensive survey on the controller placement problem (CPP) in SDN. We introduce the CPP in SDN and highlight its significance. We present the classical CPP formulation along with its supporting system model. We also discuss a wide range of the CPP modeling choices and associated metrics. We classify the CPP literature based on the objectives and methodologies. Apart from the primary use-cases of the CPP in data-center networks and wide area networks, we also examine the recent application of the CPP in several new domains such as mobile/cellular networks, 5G, named data networks, wireless mesh networks and VANETs. We conclude our survey with discussion on open issues and future scope of this topic.
