Abstract:
In order to reduce unwanted traffic and make efficient use of limited
access link capacity or other network resources, it is advantageous
if customers can filter traffic destined to them, within their
upstream Internet Service Provider (ISP) networks. The customer
receiving traffic should have control over inbound filters, since
their definition of desirable versus undesirable traffic may change
over time (e.g. as new network services and protocols are
introduced). In this document, we describe an SDN-based means for
customers to express computable logic to their ISPs in order to
distinguish between desirable and undesirable inbound traffic. These
rules can be dynamically and securely updated within the running ISP
network, with full automation One use case for this is in mitigating
denial of service attacks. Even if such filtering is only
implemented in an ISP's access network, it preserves capacity on the
customer access links for desirable traffic. If implemented at the
ISP's edge connections to other providers, or prior to ingress to
their core, it can also preserve the ISP's own network capacity and
other resources that may be threatened by attacks.
