Abstract

In the landscape of network management, software-defined networking (SDN) technology emerges as a dynamic approach, facilitating efficient network configuration for improved performance and monitoring, akin to the agility of cloud computing rather than traditional methods. However, its centralized structure exposes SDN to various attack vectors. Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) attacks, particularly, pose a significant threat to SDN. This study employs machine learning algorithms and Network Traffic Classification Analysis (NCA) to classify SDN traffic as potential attacks. Notably, Decision Trees (DT) out shine other algorithms with a flawless 100% classification success, spotlighting their supremacy. Through this research, a robust path toward fortified SDN security takes form, where technological prowess and strategic intelligence unite for enhanced defense.
