One of the emerging technologies in the field of networking is the Software Defined Networking (SDN). Since it is a centrally controlled networks, it provides us with a better control to improve the security within our network against the potential threats. In this work we are using Deep Neural Network (DNN) model to detect the flow-based anomaly within the network. The model was trained on NSL-KDD dataset and out of forty-one features only six of the most relevant features of NSL-KDD were used. The results show that Deep Learning approach shows some promising results in detecting the anomaly in the SDN environment.
