ABS-TrustSDN: An agent-based simulator of trust strategies in software-defined networks

So ware-de ned networks (SDNs) have become a mechanism to separate the control plane and the data plane in the communica- tion in networks. SDNs involve several challenges around their security and their con dentiality. Ideally, SDNs should incorporate autonomous and adaptive systems for controlling the routing to be able to isolate network resources that may be malfunctioning or whose security has been compromised with malware. e current work introduces a novel agent-based framework that simulates SDN isolation protocols by means of trust and reputation models. is way, SDN programmers may estimate the repercussions of certain isolation protocols based on trust models before actually deploying the protocol into the network
