NETWORK CONTROLLER SECURITY MONITOR

摘要

Technologies are generally described for systems, devices and methods effective to compare network element instructions and network control instructions. In some examples, first instructions may be identified and may be related to flow of network traffic. The first instructions may be stored in a data structure of a memory of a network element. The network element may generate a first network instruction signature based on the first instructions. A network controller device may identify second instructions. In some examples, the second instructions may be related to control of the network traffic, and may be stored in a memory of the network controller device. The network controller device may generate a second network instruction signature based on the second instructions. The network controller device may compare the first network instruction signature to the second network instruction signature to produce a comparison between the first instructions and the second instructions.

主权项

1. A network element, comprising:
a processor; and a memory configured to be in communication with the processor; the processor configured to:
store a flow table, wherein the flow table includes information related to routing of network traffic from the network element;calculate a network instruction signature based on the information stored in the flow table; andprovide the network instruction signature to two or more network controller devices.
