Abstract
Software-defined networking is an evolving network architecture beheading the traditional network architecture focusing its disadvantages in a limited perspective. A couple of decades before, programming and networking were viewed as different domains which today with the lights of SDN bridging themselves together. This is to overcome the existing challenges faced by the networking domain and an attempt to propose cost-efficient effective and feasible solutions. Changes to the existing network architecture are inevitable considering the volume of connected devices and the data being held together. SDN introduces a decoupled architecture and brings customization within the network making it easy to configure, manage, and troubleshoot. This paper focuses on the evolving network architecture, the software-defined networking. Unlike a generic view on the evolving network, which makes work as a review, this work addresses various perspectives of the architecture leaving it an intermediate work in between the review of the literature and implementation, contributing towards factors like the design, programmability, security, security behaviors, and security lapses. This paper also analyses various weak points of the architecture and evolves the attack vectors in each plane leaving a conclusion to further progress towards identifying the impacts of the attacks and proposing mitigation strategies.
Highlights
With the increased requirements, the connected devices over a period of time suffocates in executing its operations as intended
Is paper addresses the existing architecture of the connected devices and the recent developments held over the past decade to mitigate the suffocation
Focusing on the recent developments, there are various exciting proposals, in which this paper addresses one of the proposals which is software-defined networking (SDN)
Summary
The connected devices over a period of time suffocates in executing its operations as intended. In the domain of networks, the SDN approach is considered as another trending endeavor to address the existing challenges faced in the traditional connected devices [2]. As it is one of the evolving architectures, various flaws were identified in the due course and were made open to the research forums to come up with mitigation methods. It starts from introducing the evolving network architecture and its efficiency towards network programmability followed by its various security issues and factors within the SDN architecture and diving towards the vital part of this work and analyzing the security issues, its types, and impact. It starts from introducing the evolving network architecture and its efficiency towards network programmability followed by its various security issues and factors within the SDN architecture and diving towards the vital part of this work and analyzing the security issues, its types, and impact. is paper in its final part concludes by leaving progressive pathway for other researchers to move forward and propose various solutions to mitigate the addressed security issue effectively
