Detection and mitigation of spoofing attacks by using SDN in LAN

Abstract

Software Defined Networking (SDN) is defined as a solution for security, reliability and flexibility problems in traditional networks. It decouples the data plane and control plane. SDN is a programmable approach of networking. In this technology network can be controlled by a program. The key characteristic of Software Defined Networking is that it proposes the separation of the data plane and the control plane, this control is given to a centralize controller and Open data devices are used for data forwarding. These devices can act either as switch, hub or as any other network device it depends upon the application. Those applications also can be attack mitigation applications. In our proposed work we develop an IP spoofing attack mitigation application. That application can detect and mitigate the IP spoofing attack in SDN in LAN. Here, we will use POX controller so have to develop program in python language. The emulation tool Mininet is used for experiment.
