Usando o particionamento de switch para mitigar o problema de acoplamento

The network architecture of a software defined networking (SDN) has as main characteristic to centralize the control of the network in a single asset, which makes this asset a target for denial of service (DoS) attacks. This article aims to demonstrate a way to mitigate denial of service attacks that focus on exploring the security of coupling multiple switches to the same central controller. For the demonstration, an attack, called Slow-Saturation, was used.
