Performance Analysis of DDoS Attack on SDN and Proposal of Cracking Agorithm

The software-defined network (SDN) emerges as an updated technology that changes the scenario of networking where the network is managed by means of software. Any network is always not secure, and hence, the research in terms of securing this network is an area of research. DDoS is one of the attacks that makes a network insecure. This paper proposes the impact in terms of performance of SDN networks due to DDoS attack and proposes a new algorithm for increasing the performance of network. The proposed algorithm prevents the DDoS attack at the application level of flooding by keeping track of IP addresses and thus improves the performance of the network by preventing from DDoS attacks.
