[Retracted] Lightweight Statistical Approach towards TCP SYN Flood DDoS Attack Detection and Mitigation in SDN Environment

Table 2

Comparison of SDN with conventional network architecture [16].

FeatureTraditional networkSDN

InnovationLimited hardware capacity and test environment.Upgraded software provides fast deployment. Multitenants under centralized controller enhanced experimentations.
ConfigurationComplex manual configuration.A centralized controller provides an automated configuration.
PerformanceDevices are statistically configured, having limited information.Globally, dynamic configuration of devices has cross-layer information.
ManagementIt is hard to manage or change as every device needs changes separately.Simplified management and improved delivery. Ensuring programmability by parting the control plane from the data plane.
