Software defined networking (SDN) is a new network architecture that allows for centralized network control. The separation of the data plane from the control plane, which establishes a programmable network environment, is the key breakthrough underpinning SDN. The controller facilitates the deployment of services that specify control policies and delivers these rules to the data plane using a common protocol such as OpenFlow at the control plane. Despite the many advantages of this design, SDN security remains a worry because the aforementioned chapter expands the network's attack surface. In fact, denial of service (DoS) assaults pose a significant threat to SDN settings in a variety of ways, owing to flaws in the data and control layers. This work shows how distributed denial of service (DDoS) attack detection is based on the entropy variation of the destination IP address. The study takes advantage of the OpenFlow protocol's (OFP) flexibility and an OpenFlow controller (POX) to apply the proposed method. An entropy computation to determine the distributed features of DDoS traffic is developed and it is capable of detecting a user datagram protocol (UDP) flood attack after 0.445 seconds this type of attack occurred.

“…The datainfrastructure plane's layer oversees forwarding packets and monitoring local data. The control layer, also known as the network operating system (NOS), contains the network's intelligence and provides centralised control over the data plane [16]. It comprises of a logically centralised controller that controls the forwarding elements in concert.…”

The dynamic structure of today's networking system, in which the control plane is fully dispersed throughout the network and networking equipment (e.g., switches, routers) have their own local control-plane and data-plane, makes networking system management more complicated. Networking paradigm that can be programmed by separating the management function from the networking elements and putting it in a logically centralised control plane, SDN makes it simple to administer and operate this dynamic networking system. The forwarding devices are made easier by the separation of the control and data planes. A logically centralised control-plane is in charge of the control, management, and configuration of these simple forwarding devices.. SDN's control plane is frequently referred to as the network operating system. The purpose of this dissertation is to evaluate the performance of an OpenFlow enabled software defined network model with a POX controller to that of a traditional network. Mininet is a tool that is used to design and analyse traditional and programmable networks. Latency, throughput, packet loss, and jitter characteristics are used to evaluate performance.

“…The second version focused on improving ONOS performance in core network traffic engineering and scheduling. In [13] authors use a comparison of performance metrics such as delay, bandwidth, and received packets using network monitoring tools like IPERF and D-ITG to analyze the functionality of the POX controller. The results of this research were the recommendation of using a POX controller.…”

Software Defined Networking (SDN) is an important technology that enables a new approach to how we develop and manage networks. SDN divides the data plane and control plane and promotes logical centralization of network control so that the controller can schedule the data in the network effectively through the OpenFlow protocol. The performance and capabilities of the controller itself are important. The impact of network topology type on controller performance can be very significant. In order to have better communication in SDN, it is essential to have an analysis of the performance of specific network topologies. In this paper, we simulate ONOS and RYU controllers and compare their different network parameters under the proposed complex custom Tree-based topology. A network topology has been designed using a Mininet emulator, and the code for topology is executed in Python. From the throughput, packet transmission rate, and latency analysis, the ONOS controller displayed better results than RYU, showing that it can respond to requests more efficiently under complex SDN topologies and traffic loads. On the contrary, the RYU controller provides better results for the less complex SDN networks.
