A Software Defined Networking (SDN) is an advanced network design that presents central control for a complete network. It is a dynamic, easy-to-manage, cost-efficient, and adaptive advanced architecture, making it utilitarian for dynamic nature and high-bandwidth of the present applications. Distributed Denial-of-Service (DDoS) attacks specific to SDN networks to deplete the control plane bandwidth and overload the buffer memory of OpenFlow switch. In this research, a design and implementation of secure guard to assist in solving the issue of DDoS attacks on pox controller is presented, this guard is named SGuard. A novel Five-tuple as feature vector is utilized for classifying traffic flow using Support Vector Machine (SVM). A Mininet is utilized to evaluate SGuard in a software environment. The introduced system is evaluated by measuring the system's performance in terms of delay, bandwidth, traffic flow and accuracy. |
