SDN for network security
Ruslan L. Smeliansky · 2014
Software Defined Networking, SDN, is the programmable separation of control and forwarding elements of networking that enables software control of network forwarding that can be logically and/or physically separated from physical switches and routers. The following important question is considered in this paper: to what extent can SDN-based networks address network security management problems? The new opportunities for enhancing network security brought by this separation are considered in the paper.
