Software-Defined Networking (SDN): Architecture, Security Challenges, and Solutions

Abstract

Software-Defined Networking (SDN) is a modern networking paradigm that decouples the control plane from
the data plane, enabling centralized network management and programmability. This paper discusses the
architecture of SDN, its security challenges, and potential solutions.

Introduction

Traditional networking relies on hardware-based control, limiting flexibility and scalability. SDN introduces a
programmable approach where a central controller manages network traffic dynamically.

Architecture

SDN consists of three main layers: the Application Layer, where network applications operate; the Control
Layer, where the SDN controller makes decisions; and the Infrastructure Layer, which includes physical and
virtual switches. The OpenFlow protocol is commonly used for communication between these layers.

Security Challenges

Despite its benefits, SDN faces security threats such as DDoS attacks, controller vulnerabilities, and
unauthorized access. A compromised controller can lead to entire network failures.

Solutions

To mitigate risks, security measures such as encryption, role-based access control (RBAC), anomaly
detection, and machine learning-based threat identification should be implemented.

Conclusion

SDN enhances network agility but introduces security concerns. A proactive security framework is essential
for safe deployment. Future research should focus on AI-driven security mechanisms to strengthen SDN
networks.
