Abstract
Software-defined networking (SDN) is a network technology that aims to make the network more flexible and centralized. The main aim of the architecture is decoupling of network and control plane which enables the network control to be programmed and hence the forwarding devices are abstracted from higher application services. However, before this technology evolves on a large scale, it is important to understand the vulnerabilities associated with it. The agenda for this paper is to study the different types of attacks on the three layers of the OpenFlow protocol and the possible mitigation strategies to reduce the impact of those attacks on the network, implement SDN network which consists assorted topologies connecting numerous hosts, switches, and controllers. The implemented framework monitors the various events occurring in the network, identifies malicious events causing DoS attack, and mitigates the same. Through implementation, we elaborate different ways of making SDN more secure.
