Abstract
Software-defined networking (SDN) is a valuable network management approach that facilitates the network configuration programmatically. It enriches the performance of the monitoring schemes and data transmission across the network. The innovations in the SD-WAN have embarked due to the advancement in network applications. Various operational scenarios and applications have necessitated long-range data transmission, whereas the transmission network is designed with the assistance of SD-WAN with a new perspective. The data transmission in wide area network has used multi-protocol label switching (MPLS), and it has a configuration issue. To overcome the drawbacks, the software-defined technique is incorporated into the WAN, and it is an adequate replacement for the MPLS. During data transmission, SD-WAN has faced various threats and vulnerabilities in the transmission channel. Numerous researches and solutions are articulated for SD-WAN network security. In this review article, SD-WAN characteristics, architectural design, attacks, and potential solutions are demystified.
