Abstract:

Network security is an important concern in the Internet. Most network security efforts have focused on vulnerable end systems that are exploited by remote attacks through the network, on denial-of-service attacks that use the network to disable end-systems, and on general information security. Until recently, the network infrastructure itself has not been a major concern for network security since it presented no practical attack target. Security issues in computer networks have focused on attacks on end systems and the control plane. An entirely new class of emerging network attacks aims at the data plane of the network. Data plane forwarding in network routers has traditionally been implemented with custom-logic hardware, but recent router designs increasingly use software-programmable network processors for packet forwarding. These general-purpose processing devices exhibit software vulnerabilities and are susceptible to attacks.
