    Abstract Software-Defined Networking (SDN) represents a significant paradigm shift in network architecture, separating network logic from the underlying forwarding devices to enhance flexibility and centralize deployment. Concurrently, the Internet of Things (IoT) connects numerous devices to the Internet, enabling autonomous interactions with minimal human intervention. However, implementing and managing an SDN-IoT system is inherently complex, particularly for those with limited resources, as the dynamic and distributed nature of IoT infrastructures creates security and privacy challenges during SDN integration. The findings of this study underscore the primary security and privacy challenges across application, control, and data planes.… More >

    Open-Source Software Defined Networking Controllers: State-of-the-Art, Challenges and Solutions for Future Network Providers

    Johari Abdul Rahim1, Rosdiadee Nordin2,*, Oluwatosin Ahmed Amodu3,4

    CMC-Computers, Materials & Continua, Vol.80, No.1, pp. 747-800, 2024, DOI:10.32604/cmc.2024.047009 - 18 July 2024

    Abstract Software Defined Networking (SDN) is programmable by separation of forwarding control through the centralization of the controller. The controller plays the role of the ‘brain’ that dictates the intelligent part of SDN technology. Various versions of SDN controllers exist as a response to the diverse demands and functions expected of them. There are several SDN controllers available in the open market besides a large number of commercial controllers; some are developed to meet carrier-grade service levels and one of the recent trends in open-source SDN controllers is the Open Network Operating System (ONOS).

    Meignanamoorthi Dhandapani*, V. Vetriselvi, R. Aishwarya

    CMES-Computer Modeling in Engineering & Sciences, Vol.140, No.3, pp. 2449-2486, 2024, DOI:10.32604/cmes.2024.050986 - 08 July 2024

    Abstract The emergence of beyond 5G networks has the potential for seamless and intelligent connectivity on a global scale. Network slicing is crucial in delivering services for different, demanding vertical applications in this context. Next-generation applications have time-sensitive requirements and depend on the most efficient routing path to ensure packets reach their intended destinations. However, the existing IP (Internet Protocol) over a multi-domain network faces challenges in enforcing network slicing due to minimal collaboration and information sharing among network operators. Conventional inter-domain routing methods, like Border Gateway Protocol (BGP), cannot make routing decisions based on performance,… More >

    QoS Routing Optimization Based on Deep Reinforcement Learning in SDN

    Yu Song1, Xusheng Qian2, Nan Zhang3, Wei Wang2, Ao Xiong1,*

    CMC-Computers, Materials & Continua, Vol.79, No.2, pp. 3007-3021, 2024, DOI:10.32604/cmc.2024.051217 - 15 May 2024

    Abstract To enhance the efficiency and expediency of issuing e-licenses within the power sector, we must confront the challenge of managing the surging demand for data traffic. Within this realm, the network imposes stringent Quality of Service (QoS) requirements, revealing the inadequacies of traditional routing allocation mechanisms in accommodating such extensive data flows. In response to the imperative of handling a substantial influx of data requests promptly and alleviating the constraints of existing technologies and network congestion, we present an architecture for QoS routing optimization with in Software Defined Network (SDN), leveraging deep reinforcement learning.

    A Multi-Constraint Path Optimization Scheme Based on Information Fusion in Software Defined Network

    Jinlin Xu1,2, Wansu Pan1,*, Longle Cheng1,2, Haibo Tan1,2, Munan Yuan1,*, Xiaofeng Li1,2

    CMC-Computers, Materials & Continua, Vol.79, No.1, pp. 1399-1418, 2024, DOI:10.32604/cmc.2024.049622 - 25 April 2024

    Abstract The existing multipath routing in Software Defined Network (SDN) is relatively blind and inefficient, and there is a lack of cooperation between the terminal and network sides, making it difficult to achieve dynamic adaptation of service requirements and network resources. To address these issues, we propose a multi-constraint path optimization scheme based on information fusion in SDN. The proposed scheme collects network topology and network state information on the network side and computes disjoint paths between end hosts. It uses the Fuzzy Analytic Hierarchy Process (FAHP) to calculate the weight coefficients of multiple constrained parameters… More >

    Abstract Software Defined Network (SDN) and Network Function Virtualization (NFV) technology promote several benefits to network operators, including reduced maintenance costs, increased network operational performance, simplified network lifecycle, and policies management. Network vulnerabilities try to modify services provided by Network Function Virtualization MANagement and Orchestration (NFV MANO), and malicious attacks in different scenarios disrupt the NFV Orchestrator (NFVO) and Virtualized Infrastructure Manager (VIM) lifecycle management related to network services or individual Virtualized Network Function (VNF). This paper proposes an anomaly detection mechanism that monitors threats in NFV MANO and manages promptly and adaptively to implement and… More >

    Gul Nawaz1, Muhammad Junaid1, Adnan Akhunzada2, Abdullah Gani2,*, Shamyla Nawazish3, Asim Yaqub3, Adeel Ahmed1, Huma Ajab4

    CMC-Computers, Materials & Continua, Vol.77, No.2, pp. 2157-2178, 2023, DOI:10.32604/cmc.2023.026952 - 29 November 2023

    Abstract Distributed denial of service (DDoS) attack is the most common attack that obstructs a network and makes it unavailable for a legitimate user. We proposed a deep neural network (DNN) model for the detection of DDoS attacks in the Software-Defined Networking (SDN) paradigm. SDN centralizes the control plane and separates it from the data plane. It simplifies a network and eliminates vendor specification of a device. Because of this open nature and centralized control, SDN can easily become a victim of DDoS attacks. We proposed a supervised Developed Deep Neural Network (DDNN) model that can… More >

    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.

    Managing Smart Technologies with Software-Defined Networks for Routing and Security Challenges: A Survey

    Babangida Isyaku1,2, Kamalrulnizam Bin Abu Bakar2,*

    Computer Systems Science and Engineering, Vol.47, No.2, pp. 1839-1879, 2023, DOI:10.32604/csse.2023.040456 - 28 July 2023

    Abstract Smart environments offer various services, including smart cities, e-healthcare, transportation, and wearable devices, generating multiple traffic flows with different Quality of Service (QoS) demands. Achieving the desired QoS with security in this heterogeneous environment can be challenging due to traffic flows and device management, unoptimized routing with resource awareness, and security threats. Software Defined Networks (SDN) can help manage these devices through centralized SDN controllers and address these challenges. Various schemes have been proposed to integrate SDN with emerging technologies for better resource utilization and security. Software Defined Wireless Body Area Networks (SDWBAN) and Software More >
