Abstract

We describe a load balancing system for parallel intrusion detection on multi-core systems using a novel model allowing fine-grained selection of the network traffic to be analyzed. The system receives data from a network and distributes it to multiple Intrusion Detection Systems (IDSs) running on individual CPU cores. In contrast to related approaches, we do not assume a static association of flows to IDS processes but adaptively determine the load of each IDS process to allocate network flows for a limited time window. We developed a priority model for the selection of network data and the assignment process. Special emphasis is given to environments with highly dynamic network traffic, where only a fraction of all data can be analyzed due to system constraints. We show that IDSs analyzing packet payload data disproportionately suffer from random packet drops due to overload. Our proposed system ensures loss-free analysis for selected data streams in a specified time interval. Our primary focus lies on the treatment of dynamic network behavior: neither data should be lost unintentionally, nor analysis processes should be needlessly idle. To evaluate the priority model and assignment systems, we implemented a prototype and evaluated it with real network traffic.
