Critical analysis of layer 2 network security in virtualised environments
2016
International Journal of Communication Networks and Distributed Systems
In this article, we explore whether layer 2 network attacks that work on physical switches apply to their virtualised counterparts by performing a systematic study across four major hypervisor environments -Open vSwitch, Citrix XenServer, Microsoft Hyper-V Server and VMware vSphere -in seven different virtual networking configurations. First, we use a malicious virtual machine to run a MAC flooding attack and evaluate the impact on co-resident virtual machines. We find that network performance
