用机器学习提升SDN网络入侵检测准确率，最高达99.87%。

Software-defined network (SDN) is a new approach that allows network control to become directly programmable, and the underlying infrastructure can be abstracted from applications and network services. Control plane). When it comes to security, the centralization that this demands is ripe for a variety of cyber threats that are not typically seen in other network architectures. The authors in this research developed a novel machine-learning method to capture infections in networks. We applied the classifier to the UNSW-NB 15 intrusion detection benchmark and trained a model with this data. Random Forest and Decision Tree are classifiers used to assess with Gradient Boosting and AdaBoost. Out of these best-performing models was Gradient Boosting with an accuracy, recall, and F1 score of 99.87%,100%, and 99.85%, respectively, which makes it reliable in the detection of intrusions for SDN networks. The second best-performing classifier was also a Random Forest with 99.38% of accuracy, followed by Ada Boost and Decision Tree. The research shows that the reason that Gradient Boosting is so effective in this task is that it combines weak learners and creates a strong ensemble model that can predict if traffic belongs to a normal or malicious one with high accuracy. This paper indicates that the GBDT-IDS model is able to improve network security significantly and has better features in terms of both real-time detection accuracy and low false positive rates. In future work, we will integrate this model into live SDN space to observe its application and scalability. This research serves as an initial base on which one can make further strides forward to enhance security in SDN using ML techniques and have more secure, resilient networks.
