Abstract
Software-defined networks (SDN) have been widely used in Cloud Data Centers in recent years. With the development of cloud technologies, different organizations need to share network resources to achieve common business goals, which requires distributed SDN controllers to collaboratively manage cloud networks and realize cross-domain routing. However, existing distributed controller cooperative routing schemes require a third-party trust center to establish trusted relationships for controllers. Since both trust centers and certified entities are vulnerable to various attacks and security risks, the existing works cannot effectively ensure cross-domain routing is credible. To address this problem, Blockchain is employed to establish trusted relationships between distributed controllers, then a cross-domain routing mechanism was devised based on the trusted relationships. Security analysis and experiments indicate that the proposed scheme can establish trust relationships and provide credible cross-domain routing cooperation for distributed SDN controllers. Besides, the required overhead of storage and bandwidth are very limited, which implies good practicability.
