Intrusion Detection and Prevention System for DDoS Attacks in 5G Network using SDN

Abstract

This paper provides the implementation of an intrusion detection and prevention system to research the security capacities of Software Defined Networking (SDN) in a 5G-like environment under Distributed Denial of-Service (DDoS) attacks. OMNeT++ along with two extension libraries, SimuLTE and OpenFlow OMNeT++ Suite is used as the simulator. The distributed synchronize (SYN) flood attack performed by malicious hosts is analyzed and reported. The algorithm implemented provides an improvement in detection and prevention of DDoS attack in 5G network using SDN from the base paper taken as reference.
