Detection and Categorization of Conflict Flows Within SDN Environments using Machine Learning Approach

Software-Defined Networking (SDN) is known for its remarkable versatility and adaptability. SDN applications encompass a wide range of network management and control functionalities, including load balancing, access control, and routing. However, SDN can encounter issues stemming from conflicting traffic patterns that may degrade network performance in relation of efficiency and optimization. These conflicts arise when factors such as priority and action settings are adjusted. Furthermore, IP spoofing, commonly employed for anonymity and amplification, frequently leads to widespread distributed denial-of-service (DDoS) attacks. We've established a sufficient condition based on the duration and frequency of DDoS attacks. Notably, our sophisticated attack method generates legitimate traffic within the SIP network using reflection techniques. “As a result, it has the ability to bypass security measures such as blacklists, IP blocking, rate limiting based on packet counts or session/transaction volumes, and automated systems designed to detect unnatural message generation. These security mechanisms are commonly employed in advanced security setups, but the system or technique in question can effectively avoid detection or restriction when interacting with digital environments.”
