Software Defined Network (SDN) is the next generation network that decouples the control plane from the data plane of forwarding devices by utilizing the OpenFlow protocol as a communication link between the data plane and the control plane. However, there are some security issues might be in actions on SDN that the attackers can take control over the SDN control plane. Thus, traffic measurement is a fundamental technique of protecting SDN against the high-security threats such as DDoS, heavy hitter, superspreader as well as live video calling, QoS control, high bandwidth requirement, resource management are also inevitable in SDN/Software Defined Cellular Network (SDCN). In such a scenario, we survey SDN traffic measurement solutions, in order to assess how these solutions can make a secured, efficient and robust SDN/SDCN architecture. In this paper, various types of SDN traffic measurement solutions have been categorized based on network applications behaviour. Furthermore, we find out the challenges related to SDN/SDCN traffic measurement and future scope of research, which will guide to design and develop more advanced traffic measurement solutions for a scalable, heterogeneous, hierarchical and widely deployed SDN/SDCN in future prospects. More in details, we list out kinds of practical machine learning (ML) approaches to analyze how we can make improvement in the traffic measurement performances. We conclude that using ML in SDN traffic measurement solutions will give benefit to get secured SDN/SDCN network in complementary ways. |
