“…While the proposed method effectively detected most of the conflicts that appeared in the flow table, its high memory requirement remained a major shortcoming. Lin et al [17] used most of the parameters configured in OpenFlow tables to conduct cross-layer testing between two different flow entries. The priority of flow of the entire inflow table was experimentally observed.…”

Software Defined Networks (SDN) are a modern networking technology introduced to simplify network management via the separation of the data and control planes. Characteristically, flow entries are propagated between the control plane layer and application or data plane layers respectively while following flow table instructions through open flow protocol. More often than not, conflicts in flows occur as a result of traffic load and priority of instructions in the data plane. Several research works have been conducted on flow conflicts in SDN to reduce the effect of conflict. The flow conflict solutions in SDN have three main limitations. First, the OpenFlow table may still cause a defect in the security module according to the priority and action matching in the open flow in the control plane. Second, flow conflict detection requires more time for flow tracking and incremental update, whereas in such a case, delay affects the efficiency of SDN. Besides, the SDN algorithm and mechanism have substantially high memory requirement for instruction and proper functioning. Third, most of the available algorithms and detection methods used to avoid flow conflicts have not fully covered the security model policy. This study reviews these limitations and suggest solutions as future open research directions. ABSTRAK: Rangkaian Perisian Tertentu (SDN) adalah teknologi rangkaian moden yang diperkenalkan bagi memudahkan pengurusan rangkaian melalui pecahan data dan kawalan permukaan. Seperti biasa, aliran kemasukan disebar luas antara lapisan permukaan kawalan dan aplikasi atau lapisan permukaan data masing-masing, sambil mengikuti arahan meja melebar melalui protokol aliran terbuka. Kebiasaannya konflik dalam aliran berlaku disebabkan oleh beban trafik dan keutamaan arahan pada permukaan data. Beberapa kajian dibuat terhadap konflik aliran SDN bagi mengurangkan kesan konflik. Solusi konflik aliran dalam SDN mempunyai tiga kekurangan besar. Pertama, jadual Aliran Terbuka mungkin masih menyebabkan kekurangan dalam modul keselamatan berdasarkan keutamaan dan tindakan persamaan dalam aliran terbuka permukaan kawalan. Kedua, pengesanan aliran konflik memerlukan lebih masa bagi pengesanan aliran dan peningkatan kemaskini, kerana setiap penangguhan memberi kesan terhadap kecekapan SDN. Selain itu, algoritma SDN dan mekanisme memerlukan memori yang agak besar bagi memproses arahan dan berfungsi dengan baik. Ketiga, kebanyakan algoritma dan kaedah pengesanan yang digunakan bagi mengelak konflik pengaliran tidak sepenuhnya dilindungi polisi model keselamatan. Oleh itu, kajian ini meneliti kekurangan dan memberi cadangan penambahbaikan bagi arah tuju kajian masa depan yang terbuka.
