Abstract
Software-Defined Networking (SDN) provides centralized and programmable control for multi-tenant networks yet handling dynamic traffic along with strict security and isolation remains challenging. This study introduces a scalable SDN framework integrating adaptive traffic management and cryptographic tenant isolation. The approach improves throughput, maintains latency stability, ensures data security, and introduces minimal overhead in large-scale environments.
