The main goal of this paper is to research the effect of Distributed Denial of Service attack over the data-to-controller management southbound channel. A successful DDoS attack may exhaust the CPU or memory of SDN controller, which may lead to service disruption of the whole network. In the paper as showed experimental results of simulated DDoS attack over SDN environment and how the controller reacts on these such attacks.
