Abstract
With its centralized and simply programmable design, Software-Defined Networking (SDN) is emerging as one of the most valuable new era technology for networking. It is a developing technology that offers solutions to most traditional network problems and a framework for the heterogeneous integration of different network devices. For different creative network architectures, it makes network configuration and management easier, more accessible, more programmable, more cost-effective and more versatile. The paper presents a detailed view of the existing SDN architectures and identifies major challenges that a new integrated SDN architecture needs to tackle. Also, the various security issues i.e. threats and attacks that hinder software-defined networking (SDN) growth, are discussed. Therefore, reviewing the existing work and classifying the ongoing efforts to tackle the complex and difficult problems is the main purpose of this paper.
