IoT Network Environment based a Random Forest Model for DDOS Attack Detection

Abstract

Software-Defined Networking (SDN) and Internet of Things (IoT) are the trends of network
evolution. SDN mainly focuses on the upper-level control and management of networks, while IoT aims to bring devices together to enable sharing and monitoring of real-time behaviours through network connectivity. On the one hand, IoT enables us to gather status of devices and networks and to control them remotely. On the other hand, the rapidly growing number of devices challenges the management at the access and backbone layer and raises security concerns of network attacks, such as Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS). The combination of SDN and IoT leads to a promising approach that could alleviate the management issue.
