Abstract

In recent years, the need for seamless connectivity has increased across various network platforms like IoT, with demands coming from industries, homes, mobile, transportation and office networks. The 5th generation (5G) network is being deployed to meet such demand for high-speed seamless network device connections. 5G is a high-speed network technology with a seamless connection of different network devices in an internet of things (IoT) network area. However, the advantages of 5G also contribute to the security challenges. The seamless connectivity 5G provides could be a security threat allowing attacks such as distributed denial of service (DDoS) because attackers might have easy access to the network infrastructure and higher bandwidth to enhance the effects of the attack. We look at DDoS attacks and the classification of DDoS. We discuss some general approaches proposed to mitigate DDoS threats. This paper covers approaches using SDN in 5G enabled IoT network platforms.
