A Software Defined Networking (SDN) is an
advanced network design that presents central control for a
complete network. It is a dynamic, easy-to-manage, costefficient, and adaptive advanced architecture, making it
utilitarian for dynamic nature and high-bandwidth of the
present applications. Distributed Denial-of-Service (DDoS)
attacks specific to SDN networks to deplete the control plane
bandwidth and overload the buffer memory of OpenFlow
switch.
In this research, a design and implementation of secure
guard to assist in solving the issue of DDoS attacks on pox
controller is presented, this guard is named SGuard. A novel
Five-tuple as feature vector is utilized for classifying traffic
flow using Support Vector Machine (SVM). A Mininet is
utilized to evaluate SGuard in a software environment. The
introduced system is evaluated by measuring the system’s
performance in terms of delay, bandwidth, traffic flow and
accuracy
