SDN-MG25

Software Defined Network (SDN) has been widely used in modern network architecture. The integration of SDN into microgrid communication infrastructures offers enhanced flexibility, yet also introduces attack surfaces. As critical components of the Internet of Things (IoT) for energy systems, microgrid systems interact with numerous distributed sensors and controllers. making secure and reliable communications essential. This study presents the SDN-MG25 dataset based on a realistic microgrid\u2013SDN testbed. This dataset contains benign network traffic generated from enterprise-level user activities, network flow records of microgrid communications, SDN activities, system call traces, and microgrid power measurements from an integrated SDN-based microgrid system. Additionally, a variety of SDN-related attack scenarios, such as fake link injection, flow rule tampering, and packet-in flooding, are implemented. A preliminary analysis is presented to evaluate the SDN-MG25 dataset. The SDN-MG25 dataset is publicly available for research in SDN-based microgrid and IoT energy environments.
