Title
Defending Ddos Attacks In Software Defined Networking Based On Improved Shiryaev-Roberts Detection Algorithm
Abstract
As the availability is an important issue of network security, it is necessary to research the DDoS defending mechanism of Software Defined Networking (SDN) before the real-world deployment. In this paper, we first measured the impact of DDoS attacks on SDN based on a test bed. The results showed that the resource utilization changed sharply when DDoS attacks started. Based on this observation, a lightweight DDoS defending mechanism which is implemented in SDN controller is put forward. In this mechanism, a score based Shiryaev-Roberts change point detection algorithm is firstly adopted to detect the starting time points of DDoS attacks. Then, the attacking flows will be filtered and rerouted to the middle boxes network where the DDoS attacking flows filtering algorithm is deployed. A prototype of the mechanism is built and evaluated in the test bed. The results show that the score based Shiryaev-Roberts detection mechanism can detect the attack quickly, and the controller along with switches can be protected from DDoS efficiently.
