Abstract

The work considers the prerequisites for the emergence of software-defined SDN networks, which are in great demand today.

The purpose of the work is to review the technology of building SDN networks and recognizing types of traffic based on SDN technology. Analyze existing solutions in the field of recognition of encrypted traffic, which is the most popular in modern networks. Compare recognition algorithms, their speed of operation and recognition accuracy. Explore vulnerabilities and potential solutions in SDN security.

The authors suggested further research into ways of using DPI technology in software-configured networks in order to improve the efficiency of using existing communication channels.

The results of a comparison of traffic recognition systems and their vulnerabilities in comparison with classic networks are presented.
