Abstract: In this paper, we introduce I-SMITE an inter autonomous systems (inter-AS) IP traceback mechanism based on SMITE to support efficient IP traceback across inter-AS software-defined networks (SDN) networks. The objective is achieved through an integration of SDN, multiprotocol label switching (MPLS) and border gateway protocol (BGP) in OpenFlow. Our proposed work leverages the flexibility of SDN and the strength of MPLS to achieve low false-positive rate, ability to perform post-mortem traceback, reduction in storage pressure/hardware investment and most importantly the ability to perform traceback for a single attack packet. Also, the standard internet protocol BGP has been used to provide inter-AS IP traceback support, thereby enhancing the acceptability of the proposed work. Moreover, the proposed work also aims to overcome the difficulties and limitations of legacy traceback mechanisms in an SDN environment.
