What is it about?

The article discusses the challenges of efficiently routing and balancing the increasing traffic load in the Advanced Metering Infrastructure (AMI) communication network. The authors propose a novel Software Defined Network (SDN)-based approach called OpenAMI to address this issue, offering a promising solution for the next generation AMI. The proposed approach can help improve the performance of the AMI network by balancing the load on the entire network, resulting in low end-to-end delay and high delivery ratio.
