Abstract
Methods, systems, and computer readable media for mitigating traffic storms are provided herein. In some aspects, a system for mitigating traffic storms includes a traffic storm detector configured to detect an indication of a traffic storm. The system may also include a software defined network (SDN) controller configured to generate and send SDN commands to a controllable network entity for mitigating the traffic storm. In some aspects, a method for mitigating traffic storms includes detecting an indication of a traffic storm, wherein the traffic storm includes a burst of message traffic in a network. The method further includes sending one or more SDN commands to a controllable and/or controlled network entity to mitigate the traffic storm.
