A Survey Paper of Distributed Denial-of-Service Attack in Software Defined Networking (SDN)

摘要

Distributed Denial of Services (DDoS) attacks is one of well-known and dangerous threats to the current network which always exists and evolves in line with the development of the network itself. Current network development has entered the Software Defined Networking (SDN) era which offers centralized control and programmability network by decoupling the network control and data plane that bring on us a dynamic, cost-effective, manageable and agile platform. On the down-side, this centralized platform can bring new security challenges such as DDoS attacks on the central controller which could compromise the entire network. This paper presents security challenge on SDN and provides several approaches to mitigate the DDoS attack from various source.
