• Abstract summary: This paper investigates the issue of implementing in-network learning models to support distributed intrusion detection systems (IDS) It proposes a model that optimally distributes the IDS workload, resulting from the subdivision of a "Strong Learner" (SL) model into lighter distributed "Weak Learner" (WL) models. A meta-heuristic approach is proposed to reduce the long computational time required by the exact solution provided by the mathematical model.

• Abstract: The rise of programmable data plane (PDP) and in-network computing (INC) paradigms paves the way for the development of network devices (switches, network interface cards, etc.) capable of performing advanced computing tasks. This allows to execute algorithms of various nature, including machine learning ones, within the network itself to support user and network services. In particular, this paper delves into the issue of implementing in-network learning models to support distributed intrusion detection systems (IDS). It proposes a model that optimally distributes the IDS workload, resulting from the subdivision of a "Strong Learner" (SL) model into lighter distributed "Weak Learner" (WL) models, among data plane devices; the objective is to ensure complete network security without excessively burdening their normal operations. Furthermore, a meta-heuristic approach is proposed to reduce the long computational time required by the exact solution provided by the mathematical model, and its performance is evaluated. The analysis conducted and the results obtained demonstrate the enormous potential of the proposed new approach to the creation of intelligent data planes that effectively act as a first line of defense against cyber attacks, with minimal additional workload on network devices.

  This research aims to propose a disruptive paradigm in which devices in a typical data plane of a future programmable network have %classification and anomaly detection capabilities and cooperate in a fully distributed fashion to act as an ML-enabled Active Intrusion Detection System "embedded" into the network. The reported proof-of-concept experiments demonstrate that the proposed paradigm allows working effectively and with a good level of precision while occupying overall less CPU and RAM resources of the devices involved.
