A Parallel Architecture for Stateful Intrusion Detection in High Traffic Networks
Overview In a scenario where network bandwidth and traffic are continuously growing, network appliances that have to monitor and analyze all flowing packets are reaching their limits. These issues are critical especially for Network Intrusion Detection Systems (NIDS) that need to trace and reassemble every connection, and to examine every packet flowing on the monitored link(s), to guarantee high security levels. Any NIDS based on a single component cannot scale over certain thresholds, even if it has some parts built in hardware. Hence, parallel architectures appear as the most valuable alternative for the future. This paper proposes a parallel NIDS architecture that is able to provide with fully reliable analysis, high performance and scalability.
