Design of event-based Intrusion Detection System on OpenFlow Network

OpenFlow (OF) Network is a novel network architecture many famous cloud service providers have applied it to build their data center network. The difference between OF Network and traditional network architecture is the decoupling of controller planes and data planes for network management. Intrusion detection is very important in cloud computing to improve system security. Because OF network can improve the response time of an alert by efficiently configuring network flows, we design an event-based Intrusion Detection System (IDS) architecture on OF network.
