Abstract

The software defined networking is an emerging three layer architecture which defines control, data and application plane. Control and date plane implement routing and forwarding function, respectively. Application plane include Communication process. There are several firewall application built around controller for detect malicious traffic. At controller side some time traffic congestion is occurs so it hard to detect traffic according to rules. This study focuses on developing a firewall at switch level that protects our internal network. It reduces traffic congestion because malicious traffic is detected at switch level rather than controller side so it will provide more security. Our Implementation uses tree topology with one controller, three switches and four hosts. We have chosen POX controller written in python for the experiment and for creating SDN topology we use Mininet.
