Our tool ensures the timely detection of fast DDoS attacks which delivers the better performance of the SDN controller and not compromising the overall functionality of the entire network. It is found that ODL takes minimum time to detect the successful DDoS attack and more time to go down than ONOS. The analysis of our DDoS detection system is performed on the basis of various parameters such as time to detect the DDoS attack, Round Trip Time (RTT), percentage of packet loss and type of DDoS attack.

The data traffic is bombarded towards the controllers and the evaluation of these packets is achieved by making use of Wireshark. The generated data packets are ranging from (50,000 per secondвЂ“2,50,000 per second) and the number of hosts/switches are ranging from (50вЂ“250) in every scenario respectively. For the creation of different hosts, switches the Mininet emulation tool is used whereas for generating the data packets four different penetration tools such as Hping3, Nping, Xerxes, Tor Hammer, LOIC are used. In each scenario number of hosts, switches and data packets vary. For the experimental setup, five different network scenarios are considered.

This tool is integrated with popularly used SDN controllers (Opendaylight and Open Networking Operating System). In this paper, an early DDoS detection tool is created by using SNORT IDS (Intrusion Detection System). Before the mitigation of DDoS attacks, the primary step is to detect them. Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) in SDN is one such attack that is becoming a hurdle to its growth. But this isolation also gives birth to many security concerns therefore, the need to protect the network from various attacks is becoming mandatory. Software-defined networking (SDN) is an approach in the network that provides many advantages with the help of separating the intelligence of the network (controller) with the underlying network infrastructure (data plane).
