Abstract	In this paper, we propose a hardware-based defense system in Software-Defined Networking architecture to protect against the HTTP GET Flooding attacks, one of the most dangerous Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) attacks in recent years. Our defense system utilizes per-URL counting mechanism and has been implemented on FPGA as an extension of a NetFPGA-based OpenFlow switch.
