Abstract Software-defined networking (SDN) is a new paradigm that promises to change by breaking vertical integration, decoupling network control logic from the underlying routers and switches, promoting (logical) network control centralization, and introducing network programming. However, the controller is similarly vulnerable to a “single point of failure”, an attacker can execute a distributed denial of service (DDoS) attack that invalidates the controller and compromises the network security in SDN. To address the problem of DDoS traffic detection in SDN, a novel detection approach based on information entropy and deep neural network (DNN) is proposed. This approach contains a DNN-based DDoS traffic… More >
