Optimizing Network Security and Performance Through the Integration of Hybrid GAN-RNN Models in SDN-based Access Control and Traffic Engineering

By offering flexible and adaptable infrastructures Software-Defined Networking (SDN) has emerged as a disruptive technology that has completely changed network provisioning and administration. By seamlessly integrating Hybrid Generative Adversarial Network-Recurrent Neural Network (GAN-RNN) modeling into the foundation of SDN-based traffic engineering and accessibility control methods, this work presents a novel and comprehensive method to improve network efficiency and security. The proposed Hybrid GAN-RNN models address two important aspects of network management: traffic optimization and access control. They combine the benefits of Generative Adversarial Networks (GANs) and Recurrent Neural Networks (RNNs). Traditional traffic engineering techniques frequently find it difficult to quickly adjust to situations that are changing quickly within today's dynamic networking environments. The models' capacity to generate synthetic traffic patterns that nearly perfectly replicate the complexity of real network traffic demonstrates the power of GANs. Network administrators can now allocate resources and routing methods more dynamically, as well as in responding to real-time network inconsistencies, due to this state-of-the-art technology. The technique known as Hybrid GAN-RNN addresses the enduring problem of network security. With their reputation for continuous learning and by utilizing Python software, recurrent neural networks (RNNs) are at the forefront of developing flexible management of access rules. With an incredible 99.4% accuracy rate, the "Proposed GAN-RNN" approach outperforms the other approaches. A comprehensive evaluation of network traffic and new safety risks allow for the immediate modification of these policies. This work is interesting because it combines hybrid GAN-RNN algorithms to strengthen security protocols with adaptive access control while also optimizing network efficiency through realistic traffic modeling.
