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.

Keywords: Software-Defined Networking (SDN), architecture, application-aware networking, SDN Security
