Abstract
Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) attack has been used as a weapon by many hackers to cause a network failure thereby preventing the users from using the network service. This attack is perpetrated to create financial loss, to gain money, to seek revenge, etc. Software Defined Network (SDN) has grown widely to gain the hope of many researchers and network administrators to meet the need for maintenance of the data centers. Today’s world mostly prefers SDN due to its flexibility, cost efficiency, manageability, etc. SDN has a network architecture that changes its traffic pattern every time a change is made in its central architecture. The separation of the planes in SDN ensures the security of entire network devices and their functions thereby protecting the network. So, the attackers target the controller to bring it down leading to a network failure. Thus, the single controller has many issues with factors of both performance and scalability. Multiple controllers are used to resolve this issue. This chapter presents a full assessment of the necessity for multiple controllers in SDN, as well as the benefits and drawbacks.
