Flow Installation in Open Flow Based Software Defined Network ; A Security Perspective

Volume 4, Issue 1, January – February 2015 Page 15 Abstract In present world Software Defined Networks are setting new definitions of high speed and advance networking. These networks are growing very efficiently and spreading their popularity in industry as well as in research and development. There is a wide range of scope in this kind of advanced network from security point of view. In this research paper communication pattern and different flows coming to software defined networks are being analyzed. These flows are having their own property because of the protocols attached with them. Every time a new flow came into the software defined network, the controller generates a separate flow table for this flow. Here the process of manual installation of different flows is discussed for the security point of view of software defined network.
