Abstract

The goal of the article was the detection of anomalies and attacks in Software Defined Networks (SDN) with the appropriate selection and use of artificial intelligence algorithms and their parameters. The main challenge of the work was to determine which ensemble learning algorithm and with what parameters will allow the best detection of attacks and to compare these results with the detection using neural networks. The research was carried out on six sets using the methods of ensemble learning, i.e. RandomForestClassifier, ExtraTreeClassifier, AdaBoostClassifier, GradientBoostingClassifier and XgBoost. The RandomForest and xgboost algorithms turned out to be the most effective in detection, while the largest compromise between the detection speed and the effectiveness of RandomForest. The percentage of detected anomalies on the tested data oscillated at the level of 99–100%, which is a satisfactory result. The innovation in the approach to the problem is that the algorithm works efficiently independently of the input dataset, as opposed to the current solutions, where the algorithm is adapted to a dedicated input set.
