A Policy Conflict Detection Scheme in Software Defined Networking

Abstract

As a kind of emerging technology in the initial phase, SDN can't be perfect, and its many advantages are like a double-edged sword, which not only provides great benefits and convenience, but also brings security problems such as application policy conflict that cannot be ignored. To solve the issue of application policy conflict, a policy conflict detection scheme based on rule set grouping in the software defined networking was proposed. Rule set grouping which can reduce calculate expenses. Simulations are implemented and the results show the proposed policy conflict detection scheme is useful.
