Software-Defined-Networking (SDN) has been recently arising as a new technology in the IT industry. It is a network architecture that hopes to provide better solutions to most of the constraints in contemporary networks. SDN is a centralized control architecture for networking in which the control plane is separated from the data plane, the network services are abstracted from the underlying forwarding devices, and the network's intelligence is centralized in a software-based directly-programmed device called a controller. These features of SDN provide more flexible, programmable and innovative network's architecture. However, they may pose new vulnerabilities and may lead to new security problems. In this paper, we propose the application-aware firewall mechanism for SDN, which can be implemented as an extension to the network's controller. In order to provide more control and visibility in applications running over the network, the system is able to detect network applications that may at some point affect network's performance, and it is capable to dynamically enforce constraint rules on applications. The firewall architecture is designed as four cooperating modules: the Main Module, the Filtering Module, the Application Identification Module, and the Security-Enforcement Module. The proposed mechanism checks the network traffic at the network, transport, and application levels, and installs appropriate security instructions down into the network. The proposed solution features were implemented and tested using a Python-based POX controller, and the network topology was built using Mininet emulation tool.

Software Defined Networking (SDN) is a rising technique to deal with replace patrimony network (coupled hardware and software program) control and administration by separating the control plane (software program) from the information plane (hardware). It gives adaptability to the engineers by influencing the focal control to plane straightforwardly programmable. Some new difficulties, for example, single purpose of disappointment, may be experienced because of the original control plane. SDN concentrated on flexibility where the security of the system was not essentially considered. It promises to give a potential method to present Quality of Service (QoS) ideas in the present correspondence networks. SDN automatically changes the behavior and functionality of system devices utilizing a single state program. Its immediate OpenFlow is planned by these properties. The affirmation of Quality of Service (QoS) thoughts winds up possible in a versatile and dynamic path with SDN. It gives a couple of favorable circumstances including, organization and framework versatility, improved exercises and tip-top performances.

“…Switches became simple forwarding devices that work according to the policies defined by the controller. Many open source SDN controllers has been developed which includes POX [27], NOX [28], Beacon [29] and Floodlight [30]. More recently distributed SDN controller platforms such as ONOS and OpenDaylight [31], [32] have been developed to cater the needs of large enterprise networks.…”

“…The controllers share the information of flows and switches consistently. Moreover in previous research works, different SDN controllers [51] were used such as, POX [27], NOX [28], Beacon [29], and Floodlight [30], but ONOS [21] controller was not explored for the attack detection. In this paper we are creating a distributed environment using ONOS controller with Mininet emulation to detect DDoS flooding attack on the controller.…”

Abstract-Software Defined Networking (SDN) is an emerging network paradigm that provides central control over the network. Although, this simplifies the network management and makes efficient use of network resources, it introduces new threats to network reliability and scalability. In fact, a single centralized controller is a single point of failure. Moreover, a single controller may become a performance bottleneck as processing overhead increases. Distributed SDN controller platforms improve the reliability and scalability to some extent, however they remain vulnerable to Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) attacks, specifically on control plane. We believe that there is a need for a distributed controller framework that is capable of providing service continuity without performance degradation in case of excessive network traffic or DDoS attacks on controller. In this paper, we aim to address the vulnerabilities of SDN control plane. We propose and implement an efficient and Resilient Controller for Software Defined Network (ReCSDN). This framework is capable of detecting and mitigating DDoS attacks timely and ensures the continuity of services without performance degradation. We created an experimental test bed using Mininet to conduct extensive experiments. We deployed ReCSDN on top of Open Network Operating System (ONOS) cluster to confirm the viability of our approach. The experiment results show that with ReCSDN, control plane is not only able to withstand excessive network load but will also continue to provide services in case of any controller failure.
