Advanced Broadband Intrusion Detection Engine (ABIDE): Report on Seedling Project
Abstract
ABIDE, the "Advanced Broadband Intrusion Detection Engine", is a model for applying parallel processing to the increasing bandwidths present in optical fibers in a manner which will scale with increases in the number of lambdas in a WDM scheme. Our initial support from ARO was used to investigate design parameters, and we report a scheme that we believe will in fact allow sophisticated intrusion detection to operate on the entirety of a fiber's bandwidth. The design principle we employ is novel, consisting of alternating bands of filtering and aggregation functions organized into a virtual tree, which is then mapped to the underlying ABIDE hardware system. The aggregation/filtering adjacencies allow localized tuning at the boundary. For example, if an upstream filtering system is overwhelmed, predecessor (downstream) aggregation functions must get backpressure to decrease the number of streams merged. We call this scheme Filtering Aggregation Bands (FAB). We are prepared to continue this research and perform a more detailed experimental investigation for ARO along the lines of our original proposal.
