Detection of DDoS Attacks in SDN

Software Defined Networking (SDN) is a network management approach that allows network configuration to be dynamically and automatically changed based on program logic in order to improve performance. The control plane and data plane make up an SDN. DDoS attacks can lead to financial losses or worse if they disrupt network services. This paper presents a method for detecting and mitigating attacks with less resource consumption by utilizing SDN's central control.
