What is On the (in)Security of the Control Plane of SDN Architecture: A Survey about?

Software-Defined Networking (SDN) has revolutionized the networking landscape by offering programmable control and optimization of network resources. However, SDN architecture's inherent flexibility and centralized control expose it to new security risks. In this paper, we have presented a comprehensive study focused on the security implications associated with the control plane of SDN, which serves as a critical layer responsible for its network orchestration. We have addressed some pressing security concerns in SDN deployments by examining control plane vulnerabilities and explicit attacks. Through extensive analysis, we have investigated various control plane attacks. By meticulously exploring each attack vector, we have shed light on its mechanisms, potential impact and countermeasures. Furthermore, we have emphasized the interdependencies between the control plane, application plane, and data plane, highlighting how compromises in the control plane can propagate and impact the entire network infrastructure. Our research contributes to a deeper understanding of the specific vulnerabilities within SDN, focusing on the control plane as the primary target. By providing insights in
