Resilient Controller Location under Target Attacks
Sergio G. Cosgaya, Eusebi Calle, Jose Luis Marzo · 2018
Target attacks in telecommunication networks can disrupt the connectivity and services offered. One of the worst scenarios occurs when these attacks are able to break the networks in different pieces/islands. Moreover, if the network is managed by a low number of controllers (which is the common case) these controllers could become isolated from the rest of the network causing a disruption in the service availability. We analyses different target attack scenarios and propose a more robust strategy to locate the controllers preserving the desired service availability level.
