Network threat detection using machine/deep learning in SDN-based platforms: a comprehensive analysis of state-of-the-art solutions, discussion, challenges, and future research direction

A revolution in network technology has been ushered in by software defined networking (SDN), which makes it possible to control the network from a central location and provides an overview of the network's security. Despite this, SDN has a single point of failure that increases the risk of pote...
