SDN Control Plane Security in Cloud Computing Against DDoS Attack

Abstract

In Software Defined Networking a Denial-of- Service (DoS) or Distributed Denial-of-Service (DDoS) attack is an attempt to make a machine or network resources unreachable for its particular users. so, the require for security of such network controller against attacks from within or outside a network is very more important. Although network devices in OpenFlow can also be targeted by attackers and so required a Defense mechanism to avoid problems in smooth packet forwarding attack. SDN Give the Functionality to Overcome DDoS Attack use Control plan and data plan. Also, they manage the network use SDN controller to monitor network. SDN network flexibility provides they interface OpenFlow and switches network by Mininet. That all are merge to single centralized control point.
