Since one or, more generally, multiple distributed controllers are needed, a significant challenge in SDN is the controller placement problem (CPP). Due to characteristics such as the dynamic network topology, limited bandwidth and traffic variations, the CPP is quite complex in SDN-based satellite networks. In this paper, we propose solving the CPP by means of a static placement with dynamic assignment (SPDA) method for LEO satellite networks. The SPDA method has two parts: the first is to incorporate SDN controllers into some fixed satellites by formulating a mixed integer programming model; the second is to dynamically assign switches to existing controllers according to the switch-controller latency and the traffic load of controllers. The SPDA method takes the topological dynamics into account by effectively dividing time snapshots, and it has a lower bandwidth consumption compared with methods involving controller migrations. Real satellite constellations are used to evaluate the performance of our controller placement solution. The results show that SPDA outperforms existing methods in terms of reducing the switch-controller latency, and it also has good load balancing performance.Postprint (published version
