Abstract

While Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) attacks continue to plague the Internet, Software Defined Networks (SDNs) offer the promise of configuration elasticity for all devices in the plant to mitigate these attacks and stabilize the network in real-time. Since it is difficult to distinguish between legitimate and attack traffic, we propose a closed-loop feedback control mechanism using a multi-loop proportional, integral (PI) controller and a model predictive controller (MPC) that will regulate the system characteristics with disturbance rejection. Results from our setup implemented in the SDN platform show that our dynamic and predictive control models provide for a graceful degradation of real-time services in the SDN environment in real-time.
