Summary: Software-Defined Networking (SDN)-based Network Function Virtualization (NFV) technologies improve network dependability and resilience, but often suffer from poor performance and complex configurations. To address these issues, a new SDN-based data plane architecture called DPX is proposed, which supports in-network security services and provides simplified configuration and efficient enforcement of security policies.

Summary: With the rapid growth in scale and complexity of networks, managing, maintaining, and optimizing them has become increasingly challenging. Software-Defined Networking (SDN) is widely adopted for managing large-scale networks due to its centralized control, global network view, and software-based traffic analysis. However, SDN is vulnerable to cyber attacks, especially certain types such as denial of service. Various attack mitigation strategies, including statistical, threshold-based, and Machine Learning (ML) methods, have been proposed. Among them, Deep Learning (DL)-based models have shown the best results by extracting complex relationships between input and output. This paper presents a comprehensive survey of the literature on the use of different DL algorithms for SDN security.

Summary: Internet of Vehicles (IoV) is an emerging technology in the automotive field that allows vehicles to communicate with each other and roadside infrastructures to improve information acquisition and enhance security and comfort. Software-defined networking (SDN) architecture, with its centralized management and flexible control, offers a promising solution for the increasingly complex vehicular network. However, the security of SDN in application scenarios is often overlooked. This study focuses on the location hijacking attack against SDN in vehicular networks and proposes an attack recovery scheme based on deep Q-learning (DQL) to increase the network's resilience.

Summary: This paper emphasizes the importance of using network function virtualization (NFV) and software-defined networking (SDN) for service function chain (SFC) provisioning. By jointly optimizing SDN deployment and VNF placement, a tradeoff can be made between capital expenditures (CAPEX) and operating expenses (OPEX), and an appropriate SDN deployment rate can be determined for network operators.

Summary: In this article, we propose the first True Worm-Hole Attack in Software-Defined Networking, which introduces a relay host to establish an in-band covert channel between cheating switches, achieving packet transmission over the forged link without using any out-of-band channels. Attackers only need remote read and write privileges of flow tables, without altering software or hardware. Extensive experiments demonstrate the high feasibility and manageable impact of this attack.

Summary: Efficient task scheduling in cloud data centers is crucial for optimizing resource utilization and load balance. This paper introduces a hybrid algorithm, HEPGA, that combines particle swarm optimization (PSO) and genetic algorithm (GA) to allocate tasks efficiently and minimize makespan in cloud computing environments. By integrating PSO, GA, and HEFT-based initialization, the algorithm capitalizes on parallel processing capabilities and adapts to varying priorities to enhance resource utilization. Meticulous analysis of the algorithm's performance, considering both makespan and resource utilization, demonstrates its ability to consistently allocate resources and adapt to different optimization goals.
