Abstract

Software Defined Network has been a solution to those problems which have emerged with the advancement of social interconnection through internet, cloud computing and internet of things. Along with the speed and efficiency of any network, there are certain other parameters which are of great importance for an organization.

Software Defined Network breaks the barriers of traditional way of networking, where as it is cost efficient as it simplifies hardware and software management, any change in the software defined networks are easily adopted. This paper has discussed about a major security threat that has emerged in past few years called botnets and also has discussed related work regarding Software Defined Network based botnets
