Abstract

Aiming at the devastating impact of malicious attacks on virtual OpenFlow-compliant flow table lookup, this paper built a high-performance lookup method for OpenFlow-compliant virtual flow tables against malicious attacks. Based on approximate membership query theory, this method applied Bloom filters to predict tuple lookup failures and bypass failed lookups of a great majority of tuples, so as to accelerate the tuple space search and increase the lookup efficiency of OpenFlow-compliant virtual flow tables. Furthermore, this paper designed a scalable counting Bloom filter, which adaptively extended and retracted in accordance with dynamic variation of tuple scale, to determine tuple lookup failures with high accuracy all the time. Finally, this paper evaluated the performance of the proposed lookup method of OpenFlow-compliant virtual flow tables with real network traffic traces and malicious attack simulations. The experimental results indicate that the proposed method keeps false positive error rate below 6% with 93% lower than that of the count Bloom filter, and reduces average search length by 90%, both for the mixture ratio of attack packets and normal ones 1: 2 and 2: 1.
