The increasing number of interconnected devices and the massive amounts of data they generate strain traditional networks, leading to inefficiencies and security vulnerabilities. Additionally, the centralized control plane in Software Defined Networks (SDN) poses a single point of failure, hindering network performance. Moreover, IoT devices themselves are susceptible to attacks, compromising user data and privacy. Scholars in the field urgently need a comprehensive solution to address these pressing issues. © 2023 by IGI Global.
