This research introduces a pioneering Multi-Controller Software-Defined Networking (SDN) framework meticulously designed for bolstering attack detection and mitigation capabilities within the intricate landscape of Internet of Things (IoT) environments. Leveraging the random forest algorithm, this framework significantly enhances the ability to detect and counter Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) attacks, a prevalent threat within IoT networks. The proposed Multi-Controller SDN framework orchestrates multiple controllers to collaborate seamlessly, ensuring distributed intelligence and effective collaboration across diverse IoT devices. The integration of the random forest algorithm enables robust and accurate identification of anomalous traffic patterns indicative of potential DDoS attacks. Key aspects of this research include the development and implementation of a scalable and resilient SDN framework capable of dynamically responding to evolving attack vectors within IoT ecosystems. The random forest algorithm, known for its ensemble learning capabilities and adaptability to diverse datasets, is specifically tailored to detect subtle anomalies and patterns associated with DDoS attacks amidst the complexities of IoT traffic. Through comprehensive simulations and practical evaluations, the framework's efficacy in detecting DDoS attacks is rigorously assessed. Results showcase the framework's ability to accurately identify and mitigate DDoS threats in near real-time, demonstrating its potential to fortify IoT networks against such malicious intrusions. This research contributes a novel approach harnessing the power of Multi-Controller SDN architecture and the random forest algorithm to advance the security posture of IoT environments. The proposed framework not only addresses the intricate challenges posed by DDoS attacks but also paves the way for adaptive and proactive defense mechanisms in the ever-evolving landscape of IoT security.
