Software Defined

Software-defined networking (SDN) aims to improve network management and flexibility by centralizing control over network devices. Current research heavily focuses on applying machine learning, particularly deep learning (including LSTM, GRU, GNN, and reinforcement learning variants like DQN and PPO) to optimize various aspects, such as intelligent routing, intrusion detection, and resource allocation. These advancements enhance network performance, security, and adaptability, impacting both the efficiency of network operations and the development of more robust and secure network architectures.
