P4Pir: in-network analysis for smart IoT gateways.

ABSTRACTIoT gateways are vital to the scalability and security of IoT networks. As more devices connect to the network, traditional hard-coded gateways fail to flexibly process diverse IoT traffic from highly dynamic devices. This calls for a more advanced analysis solution. In this work, we present P4Pir, an in-network traffic analysis solution for IoT gateways. It utilizes programmable data planes for in-band traffic learning with self-driven machine learning model updates. Preliminary results show that P4Pir can accurately detect emerging attacks based on retraining and updating the machine learning model.
