A load-balancing scheme based on Bloom Filters

Abstract

Traditional intrusion detection equipments hardly satisfy the application requirements as the data rates of modern networks rise. Adaptive load balancing algorithm (Adaptive HRW Hashing) may make attacks undetected due to flow remapping. So, the load balancing algorithms in network intrusion detection system (NIDS) are firstly studied, and then a load balancing algorithm based on Bloom Filters is proposed. Experimental data shows that the algorithm has the similar load balancing effect, but with a lower rate of flow remapping.
