The lack of an SDN solution applicable in diverse IIoT scenarios is the problem addressed in this article. The main cause of this problem is the lack of integration of a set of aspects that should be considered in a comprehensive SDN solution. To contribute to the solution of this problem, a review of the literature is conducted in this article, identifying the main requirements for industrial networks nowadays as well as their solutions through SDN. This review indicates that aspects such as security, independence of the network technology used, and network centralized management can be tackled using SDN. All the advantages of this technology can be obtained through the implementation of the same solution, considering a set of aspects proposed by the authors for the implementation of SDNs in IIoT networks. Additionally, after analyzing the main features and advantages of several architectures proposed in the literature, an architecture with distributed network control is proposed for all SDN network scenarios in IIoT. This architecture can be adapted through the inclusion of other necessary elements in specific scenarios. The distributed network control feature is relevant here, as it prevents a single fault-point for an entire industrial network, in exchange for adding some complexity to the network. Finally, the first ideas for the selection of an SDN controller suitable for IIoT scenarios are included, as this is the core element in the proposed architecture. The initial proposal includes the identification of six controllers, which correspond to different types of control planes, and ten characteristics are defined for selecting the most suitable controller through the Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) method. The analysis and proposal of different fundamental aspects for the implementation of SDNs in IIoT in this article contribute to the development of a comprehensive solution that is not focused on the characteristics of a specific scenario and would, therefore, be applicable in limited situations.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/s21196585","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2021,10,10]],"date-time":"2021-10-10T21:37:49Z","timestamp":1633901869000},"page":"6585","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":44,"title":["Software-Defined Networking Solutions, Architecture and Controllers for the Industrial Internet of Things: A Review"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"21","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-7197-8928","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Claudio","family":"Urrea","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Electrical Engineering Department, Faculty of Engineering, University of Santiago of Chile, Las Sophoras 165, Estaci\u00f3n Central, Santiago 9170124, Chile"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-2633-0484","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"David","family":"Ben\u00edtez","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Electrical Engineering Department, Faculty of Engineering, University of Santiago of Chile, Las Sophoras 165, Estaci\u00f3n Central, Santiago 9170124, Chile"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2021,10,1]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"125","DOI":"10.1016\/j.comcom.2020.11.016","article-title":"Industrial Internet of Things and Its Applications in Industry 4.0: State of The Art","volume":"166","author":"Malik","year":"2021","journal-title":"Comput.
