Abstract
In distributed networks, the consistent network views (e.g., network events, network topology, and device information, etc) are critical to the network operators and service providers who aim to perform the global network/service optimizations depending on the overall network views. However, to achieve the consensus over distributed networks is a challenge, because the consistent global network view requires to exchange the local network view within the distributed domain controllers. More critically, the network view in each controller is prone to be falsified by malicious attackers who intend to destroy the network consensus. To this end, we propose an Ethereum based consensus protection system that can ensure the tamper-proof network-view synchronization. In this paper, we present our design and implementation of the data-synchronization system. A prototype is developed based on the Ethereum platform. Evaluation results have demonstrated the effectiveness of our prototype.
