Matthew West, Jihad Qaddour . Software Defined Networks – OpenFlow Channel Security and Efficiency. International Journal of Computer Applications. 181, 48 ( Apr 2019), 42-46. DOI=10.5120/ijca2019918659
This paper assesses the resource costs of TLS in OpenFlow and puts forth a header format for channel communication that is more efficient and partially backwards-compatible. Resource usage is shown to be reduced by up to 19.36% with a TLS flag added to the OpenFlow header.
