SECURITY ISSUES IN SDN/OPENFLOW

To evaluate the components in FRESCO, Mininet was imple-
mented, which provided a rapid prototyping environment for the
emulation of OF network switches. Using Mininet, they have emu-
lated one OF network switch, three hosts connected to the switch,
and one host to operate their Nox controller. Flow generation has
been performed by selecting one or two hosts to initiate TCP or UDP
connections.
Despite the success of OF, developing and deploying complex
OF security services remains a significant challenge. e proposed
FRESCO is presented as a new application development framework
specifically designed to address this problem. e FRESCO archi-
tecture has been integrated with the ...
