Distributed denial of service (DDoS) attack is the most common attack that obstructs a network and makes it unavailable for a legitimate user.We proposed a deep neural network (DNN) model for the detection of DDoS attacks in the Software-Defined Networking (SDN) paradigm.SDN centralizes the control plane and separates it from the data plane.It simplifies a network and eliminates vendor specification of a device.Because of this open nature and centralized control, SDN can easily become a victim of DDoS attacks.We p…
