Detection and Mitigation of Distributed Denial-of-Service (DDoS) Attacks on Software Defined Networking (SDN)

The evolution of information and communication technologies has brought new challenges in managing the Internet. Software-Defined Networking (SDN) aims to provide easily configured and remotely controlled networks based on centralized control. Since SDN will be the next disruption in networking, SDN security has become a hot research topic because of its importance in communication systems. A centralized controller can become a focal point of attack, thus preventing the attack on the controller will be a priority. The whole network will be affected if the attacker gains access to the controller. One of the attacks that affect SDN controller is DDoS attacks. The aim of this project is to explore and evaluate one of the common detection and mitigation techniques. Later, further ideas on how to improve the performance of SDN during such attacks are investigated.
