Negative feedback scheduling algorithm based on historical information in SDN

Abstract

In the current SDN architecture,the controllers suffer from lots of potential attacks.For example,malicious flow rule attacks may introduce fake flow rules to confuse the host.A negative feedback scheduling algorithm based on historical information was proposed,in which hypothesis testing was used to judge the behavior of the attacker and the result will be used as a basis for scheduling.Simulation results and analysis show that,compared with the traditional scheduling methods,the proposed algorithm can increase the attacker’s time cost to a certain extent,so as to effectively defend the attacker’s probe attack.In addition,the more types of controllers,the more difficult it is to break the system.
