Abstract
The Software Defined Networking (SDN) is an emerging network paradigm that separates the control plane from thedataplane.SDN facilitates network management through simple, scalable, and programmable architecture. However, the centralized control in SDN architecture is vulnerable to attacks. In this work, a mechanism is proposed toimprove and eliminate the problem of ARP poisoning attacks. The two most prominent limitations of ARPattacks are - unauthenticated and stateless nature of ARP. ARP poisoning launches higher-level attacks likeMan in the middle attack, Denial of Service, and session hijacking. Hence, the proposed algorithm is to resolve the problemofARPspoofing. It is implemented as an extension module in POX and RYU Controllers and is evaluated under different attack scenarios. Mininetis used for SDN network emulation.
