Abstract

Software-defined networking technology advantages are attracting for its implementation in enterprises rapidly. It separates the data and control planes of network and OpenFlow protocol enabled simple forwarding devices forwards data packets. SDN control takes the responsibility of control plan. The source host generates data packet,and forwarding device forwards the packet to its destination taking details of destination address form such packet. Usually, the device does verify the genuinely of source host address. SDN controller monitors the data packet flows by making necessary flow entry the device. Initially,the device does not have flow entry, and it cannot send data packet of hosts. This data packet is forwarded to the controller by the forwarding device. The controller examines the packet field values and sets up required flow entry into the flow table of the device. In this condition, the attacker can carry out source address forged attacks and creates hindrance in network operations.The researchers have offered few techniques for the identification&prevention of such attacks. In this article, we propose anappraisal of methods of prevention of address spoofing attacks (PASA)developed for security of SDN setup. Our study describes different characteristics and limits of PASAsolutions. It offers research areas in SDN security for researchers.
