    摘要: A software-defined network (SDN) rule modification counter system provides counters that track all changes and edits to rules at SDN controllers and SDN switches on an SDN. The system compares counters at the SDN controller and SDN switch to determine if they match. If the counters do not match, a change has been made to the rules. With the addition of rule edit statistics the SDN controller will now have visibility that a rule modification was performed. The SDN controller then verifies that the state of the device is the same as its expected state as a secondary integrity check. Based on the rule modification notification, changes to a central rules table at the SDN controller and changes to rule settings at the SDN switch are made according to pre-programmed logic.

    摘要: The present disclosure pertains to systems and methods of restricting access to devices utilizing tokens. In some embodiments, a system may include a user requesting a token, ensuring the user requesting a token has the permission to request the token and is not the user approving the token. In some embodiments, the system may include the user granting the token, wherein the user granting the token is not the user receiving the token. The system ensures that the user accessing the device has the permission to access the device. Additionally, the system decreases the opportunities for insider attacks and increases the resistance to credential theft attacks. Further, the system increases the accountability for changes and the ability to review changes.

    摘要: The present disclosure pertains to systems and methods of handling Address Resolution Protocol (ARP) responses in a software defined network (SDN). In one embodiment, a system may comprise a controller in a control plane to generate an address store comprising information associated with a plurality of devices in communication with the SDN. The controller may also program a plurality of network devices in a data plane based on a plurality of communication flows. The network devices may forward traffic according to the plurality of communication flows received from the controller. The network device may also receive: a request from the first device for information associated with the second device, determine that the first device is authorized to communicate with the second device based on the plurality of communication flows, and generate a response to the request comprising the information associated with the second device based on the address store.

    摘要: The present disclosure pertains to systems and method for configuration of communication flows in a software defined network (“SDN”). In one embodiment, a system is operable to configure a communication flow between a first host and a second host. A mode selection subsystem is configured to cause a plurality of network devices in a network connecting the first communication host and the second communication host to transition between an open mode and an SDN operating mode. In the open mode, the network devices may discover a communication path between the first host and the second host. An analysis subsystem may receive information from the plurality of network devices information about the discovered path, and a topology discovery subsystem may be configured to create a communication flow corresponding to the discovered path. The communication flow may allow communication between the first host and the second host in the SDN operating mode.
