Introducing Packet-Level Analysis in Programmable Data Planes to Advance Network Intrusion Detection. (arXiv:2307.05936v2 [cs.CR] UPDATED)

Programmable data planes offer precise control over the low-level processing
steps applied to network packets, serving as a valuable tool for analysing
malicious flows in the field of intrusion detection. Albeit with limitations on
physical resources and capabilities, they allow for the efficient extraction of
detailed traffic information, which can then be utilised by Machine Learning
(ML) algorithms responsible for identifying security threats. In addressing
resource constraints, existing solutions in the literature rely on compressing
network data through the collection …
