The smallest software defined network testbed in the world: Performance and security

Abstract

Zodiac-FX is the first OpenFlow switch designed to sit on a desk, not in a datacenter. In this demo, we present Zodiac-FX the world's smallest OpenFlow Software Defined Network Switch. Our main objective is to showcase the usage and functionalities of Zodiac-FX in handling OpenFlow protocol. We will also demonstrate SDN sEcure COntrol and Data Plane (SECOD), an SDN secure controller algorithm to detect and defend SDN against DoS attacks. We will demonstrate Zodiac-FX and SECOD value via experiments within real traffic and Denial- of-Service (DoS) attacks allowing the audience to interact with the complete toolkit system.
