ABSTRACT = {Software-Defined Networking (SDN) is a new network technology that uses programming to complement the data
plane with a control plane. To enable safe connection, however, numerous security challenges must be addressed.
Flooding attacks have been one of the most prominent risks on the internet for decades, and they are now becoming
challenging difficulties in SDN networks. To solve these challenges, we proposed a unique firewall application
built on multiple levels of packet filtering to provide a flooding attack prevention system and a layer-based packet
detection system. This study offers a systematic strategy for wrapping up the examination of SDN operations. The
Mininet simulator examines the effectiveness of SDN-based firewalls at various network tiers. The fundamental
network characteristics that specify how SDN should operate. The three main analytical measures of the network
are jitter, response time, and throughput. During regular operations, their behavior evaluates in the standard SDN
conditions of Transmission Control Protocol (TCP) flooding and User Datagram Protocol (UDP) flooding with no
SDN occurrences. Low Orbit Ion Cannon (LOIC) is applied to launch attacks on the transmission by the allocated
server. Wireshark and MATLAB are used for the behavioral study to determine how sensitive the parameters are
used in the SDN network and monitor the fluctuations of those parameters for different simulated scenarios.},
