Abstract

Because of BGP’s critical importance as the de-facto Internet inter-domain routing protocol, accurate and quick detection of abnormal BGP routing dynamics is of fundamental importance to internet security where the classes are imbalanced. Alougth there exist many active learning methods, few of them were extended to solve BGP problems. In this paper, avtive learning based on the under-sampling and asymmetric bagging is proposed to classify BGP routing dynamics and detect abnormal data. Under-sampling is used in training neural networks and asymmetric bagging is used to improve the accuracy of the algorithm. Our BGP data is the RIPE archive, which is a huge archive of BGP updates and routing tables that are continuously collected by RIPE monitors around the world. The experimental results suggest that the accuracy of the detection of abnormal BGP routing dynamics is satisfying and applicable to BGP products. We emphasize that this is a promising direction to improve security, availability, reliability and performance of internet security by detecting and preventing abnormal BGP routing dynamics traffic.
