The Software-Defined Networking (SDN) paradigm empowers network operators to manage and coordinate network activities, allowing for greater flexibility and dynamic updating of switching tables. Over time, more and more service providers are integrating SDN into their core network infrastructure, recognizing the benefits of its robustness and adaptability. In the face of the rapid expansion of high-speed consumer Internet, data centers are increasingly migrating their internal networks to SDN-based backbones, which offer enhanced performance and scalability. SDN is widely projected to become the technology of the future, with many of the top Fortune 500 companies already implementing SDN in some form or another to meet their core network requirements. As a result, network devices, Internet service providers, content delivery networks, and data centers will increasingly be linked to high-performing SDNs and will communicate via them. The ubiquitous penetration of SDN-based networks, coupled with the multitude of user devices connected to them, is critical for the consumers of these services. However, like traditional networks, Software Defined networks are vulnerable to Denial of Service attacks, which target the availability of a service connected to the network. Thus, it is essential to develop effective strategies for identifying and mitigating such attacks to ensure the integrity and reliability of SDN-based networks.
