Network infrastructures are growing rapidly to meet the needs of business, but the required repolicing and reconfiguration provide challenges that need to be addressed. The software-defined network (SDN) is the future generation of Internet technology that can help meet these challenges of network management. This book includes quantitative research, case studies, conceptual papers, model papers, review papers, and theoretical backing on SDN. This book investigates areas where SDN can help other emerging technologies deliver more efficient services, such as IoT, industrial IoT, NFV, big data, blockchain, cloud computing, and edge computing. The book demonstrates the many benefits of SDNs, such as reduced costs, ease of deployment and management, better scalability, availability, flexibility and fine-grained control of traffic, and security. The book demonstrates the many benefits of SDN, such as reduced costs, ease of deployment and management, better scalability, availability, flexibility and fine-grained control of traffic, and security. Chapters in the volume address: Design considerations for security issues and detection methods State-of-the-art approaches for mitigating DDos attacks using SDN Big data using Apache Hadoop for processing and analyzing large amounts of data Different tools used for attack simulation Network policies and policy management approaches that are widely used in the context of SDN Dynamic flow tables, or static flow table management A new four-tiered architecture that includes cloud, SDN-controller, and fog computing Architecture for keeping computing resources available near the industrial IoT network through edge computing The impact of SDN as an innovative approach for smart city development More. The book will be a valuable resource for SDN researchers as well as academicians, research scholars, and students in the related areas.

Cryptography and Network Security in high speed networks demands for specializedhardware in order to match up with the network speed. These hardwaremodules are being realized using reconfigurable FPGA technology to supportheavy computation. Our work is mainly based on designing an efficient architecturefor a cryptographic module and a network intrusion detection system for ahigh speed network. All the designs are coded using VHDL and are synthesizedusing Xilinx ISE for verifying their functionality. Virtex II pro FPGA is chosenas the target device for realization of the proposed design. The Network IntrusionDetection System (NIDS) module is designed for scanning suspicious patterns indata packets incoming to the network. Scanning a data packet against multiplepatterns in quick time is a highly computational intensive task. The design goal is to increasethe data conversion rate i.e the throughput to a substantial value so thatthe design can be used as a separate hardware module in high speed network applications.
