SUMMARY:Strange Things are Afoot:  Using Faucet SDN Coprocessing for Monitoring and Active Defense
DESCRIPTION:Software defined networking proceeds from the assumption that networking devices are nothing more or less than programmable computers that happen to be tasked with a specific purpose. The logical extensions of this different way of thinking offer enormous benefits to the network operator if properly applied. Centralized configuration and management are obvious benefits, but far from the only ones. The SDN controller’s unique position in the networking stack gives it unparalleled visibility into activity on a network which can be utilized to monitor networks and react to events as they are occurring. Coprocessing can make these reactions appear to be a seamless part of normal network functioning. This talk will give a brief overview of software defined networking through the lens of the Faucet SDN controller followed by a deep dive into the Coprocessing technique and how it can be used to facilitate novel defensive and monitoring workflows.
