—With the exponential growth of devices connected to the Internet, security networks as one of the hardest challenge
for network managers. Maintaining and securing such large scale and heterogeneous network is a challenging task. In this context, the new networking paradigm, the Software Defined Networking (SDN), introduces many opportunities and provides
the potential to overcome those challenges. In this article, we first present a new SDN based architecture for networking with
or without infrastructure, that we call an SDN domain. A single domain includes wired network, wireless network and Ad-Hoc
networks. Next, we propose a second architecture to include sensor networks in an SDN-based network and in a domain.
Third, we interconnect multiple domains and we describe how we can enhanced the security of each domain and how to distribute
the security rules in order not to compromise the security of one domain. Finally, we propose a new secure and distributed
architecture for IoT (Internet of Things).
