Abstract

Border Gateway Protocol (BGP) is the core component of the Internet's routing infrastructure. Abnormal routing behavior impairs global Internet connectivity and stability. Hence, designing and implementing anomaly detection algorithms is important for improving performance of routing protocols. While various machine learning techniques may be employed to detect BGP anomalies, their performance strongly depends on the employed learning algorithms. These techniques have multiple variants that often work well for detecting a particular anomaly. In this paper, we use the decision tree and fuzzy rough set methods for feature selection. Decision tree and extreme learning machine classification techniques are then used to maximize the accuracy of detecting BGP anomalies. The proposed techniques are tested using Internet traffic traces.
