DDoS Detection in Software-Defined Networks
Ryu controller that classifies flows and installs mitigation rules
5-6 weeks build
Overview
An emulated network in Mininet is driven by a Ryu OpenFlow controller that samples per-flow statistics and feeds them to a classifier trained to separate normal traffic from volumetric floods. When an attack is detected the controller pushes flow rules to rate-limit or drop the offending traffic, and the whole loop runs on virtual hosts you control.
What makes it stand up
- 01Runs entirely in a Mininet lab, no live network involved
- 02Ryu controller collecting per-flow packet and byte statistics
- 03Flow classifier trained on labelled normal and flood traffic
- 04Automatic OpenFlow rules to rate-limit or drop attack flows
- 05Before-and-after throughput plots proving the mitigation
Module breakdown
- 01
Topology
Builds a Mininet topology with hosts, switches and links.
- 02
Telemetry
Polls switch flow tables for packet, byte and duration counts.
- 03
Classifier
Trains and evaluates a flow-level attack detector offline.
- 04
Mitigation
Installs OpenFlow rules that throttle or block flagged flows.
- 05
Evaluation
Compares legitimate throughput with and without defence.
After this, you will be able to
- Explain how SDN centralises detection and response
- Defend the flow features that separate floods from bursts
- Demo an attack being detected and mitigated live in Mininet
