RAG and LLMs for Carpet-Bombing DDoS Detection in SDN

other · 2026-05-27

A new framework uses Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) and Large Language Models (LLMs) to detect and mitigate Carpet-Bombing DDoS attacks in Software-Defined Networking (SDN) environments. The approach combines interface-level traffic features, semantic embeddings, FAISS-based similarity retrieval, and LLM-driven inference to classify traffic without supervised training. Experiments were conducted under multiple Carpet-Bombing scenarios to evaluate effectiveness.

Key facts

  • The framework targets Carpet-Bombing DDoS attacks in SDN.
  • It uses RAG and LLMs for real-time detection and mitigation.
  • No conventional supervised model training or retraining is required.
  • The system combines interface-level traffic features, semantic embeddings, FAISS retrieval, and LLM inference.
  • Experiments were conducted under multiple Carpet-Bombing scenarios.
  • The paper is available on arXiv with ID 2605.26307.
  • SDN's centralized control is vulnerable to DDoS attacks.
  • Carpet-Bombing attacks distribute traffic across multiple targets to evade detection.
