Abstract

Manufacturer Usage Descriptions are generalized network Access Control Lists (ACL) that allow manufacturers to declare intended communication patterns for devices (Things). MUD-enabled Things are restricted to only communicate in the manner intended by the manufacturer – thus reducing their potential to launch network DDoS attacks. We present a scalable implementation of the MUD standard on OpenFlow SDN-enabled switches.
