A survey on the applications of SDN-based IoT Network

With the rapid advancement of technology, we depend on technology for our comfort and convenience. One such advancing technology is the Internet of Things (IoT), a multi-dimensional technology. IoT can be applied in numerous domains, enhancing our everyday experiences, but it is hindered by energy and resource limitations. Additionally, Software-Defined Networking (SDN) emerges as a complementary technology that can be incorporated into IoT for better network functioning. SDN can make an IoT network more secure, reliable, scalable and ensures optimal performance. In this paper, we have explored the diverse applications of SDN-based IoT networks. SDN enhances the flexibility of IoT networks and provides substantial benefits to mitigate possible network attacks effectively. Furthermore, the performance and security of such networks can further be improved by incorporating other advancing technologies, such as Network Function Virtualization (NFV), Black SDN, and Artificial Intelligence (AI). We can achieve the full potential of SDN-based IoT networks and further expand our technological society by adopting these cutting-edge technologies.
