Abstract

Border Gateway Protocol (BGP) is utilized to send and receive data packets over the internet. Over the years, this protocol has suffered from some massive hits, caused by worms, such as Nimda, Slammer, Code Red etc., hardware failures, and/or prefix hijacking. This caused obstruction of services to many. However, Identification of anomalous messages traversing over BGP allows discovering of such attacks in time. In this paper, a Machine Learning approach has been applied to identify such BGP messages. Principal Component Analysis technique was applied for reducing dimensionality up to 2 components, followed by generation of Decision Tree, Random Forest, AdaBoost and GradientBoosting classifiers. On fine tuning the parameters, the random forest classifier generated an accuracy of 97.84%, the decision tree classifier followed closely with an accuracy of 97.38%. The GradientBoosting Classifier gave an accuracy of 95.41% and the AdaBoost Classifier gave an accuracy of 94.43%.
