Recursive Self Organizing Maps and Software Defined Networking Cloud - A Survey

Before the invention of computers, humans tend to find the calculation, remembrance of information difficult. Even though thecomputer reduced the burden of humans, the invent of distributed computing helped the computers to distribute the workload to other computers within the network. To optimize and evade the disadvantages of Distributed Computing, Cloud Computing was developed. Cloud computing tends to provide services like IaaS, PaaS through internet. To improve the scalability and dynamic feature of Cloud, the Software Defined Network can be embedded to form SDN Cloud. For the purpose of better understanding and representation a Self-Organizing Map is used for reducing the higher level representation data to lower level representation data. One type of Self Organizing Maps is known as Recursive Self Organizing Maps in which the time is representedusing the feedback. DDoS attacks, Data Breach and Data Loss are some of the several security flaws that are used by unauthorized users for illegal access into the cloud. This paper presents an extensive survey of the Recursive Self Organizing Maps and DDoS mitigation in SDN and cloud network.
