Abstract: This paper has shown the enhancement of networks, and the ability to withstand DDoS attacks. Thus, this survey plans to make a review on 65 papers which concern DDoS attack detection in SDN. Therefore, the systematic analyses on the proposed method are analysed from each reviewed paper. In addition, the performance metrics and their best achievements in detecting the attack in each research paper are also analysed in this work. In addition, the mitigation technique used in each paper is examined in this work. Also, the chronological assessment and various tools utilised for implementing DDoS attack detection in SDN are considered and reviewed in this work. Finally, the survey depicts numerous research gaps and challenges that are more supportive for researchers to develop novel methods for detecting DDoS attacks in SDN.

Keywords: DDoS attack detection; software defined networking; mitigation techniques; systematic analysis; chronological assessments.
