Project Enhancing Network Security Utilizing Software...

State Of Art Project: Enhancing Network security Utilizing Software Defined Networks (SDN) The idea Internet technology was implemented in the early 1970’s. Rapid growth of the Internet is constantly being observed from the past two decades. Internet actually elevated the world of technology to the next level. It became so common that most day-to-day activities were dependent on the Internet. Mass usage of the Internet made things simple and was considered as one of the most reliable sources. It brought several applications like the World Wide Web (www), E-mail communication, data transfer, Social Networking and lots of aspects related to entertainment. The latest development trending in the sector of Internet technology is E-commerce.†¦show more content†¦Another topic that is to be discussed in our project is Software Defined Networking. In olden days when the Internet is new to the world, the educational organizations and other corporate companies were the only one who had access to the Internet. They are mainly concerned with the transfer of data or fi les. After a decade, common people also started to use the Internet for their day-to-day activities, which lead to the expansion of the Internet. During this period, the people are mainly concerned about the speed with which files were being transferred. Due to this revolution in the networking environment, many high speed networking devices came into play like routers, switches and data centers which were used to transfer files or data at a very high speed. The speed was achieved by including a control plane and data plane in the networking devices. The control plane took care of routing and selection of the path for the transfer of the data, whereas the data plane took care of forwarding the packet based on the commands given by the control plane like port on which the data should be sent and so on. Thus the control plane acted as a brain. Both the control plane and data plane used to be in the same networking equipment. Thus if a packet comes at the router or switch, then that ne tworking equipment will decide by itself the path onto which data should be forwarded. This technology brought a tremendous
