Low-rate Denial of Service (DoS) attacks can significantly compromise network availability and are difficult to detect and mitigate due to their stealthy exploitation of flaws in congestion control mechanisms. Software-Defined Networking (SDN) is a revolutionary architecture that decouples network c...
