Original Abstract

This paper proposes an autoencoder neural network based on bidirectional gated recurrent unit layers used for anomaly detection in sequences of management protocol messages in gigabit-capable passive optical networks (GPONs). The autoencoder uses unsupervised learning, and the learning dataset is acquired from the real GPON network using a custom-made analyzer. The anomaly detection focuses on deviations in the management protocol in comparison to the baseline. It may indicate changes in the protocol itself caused by a different protocol implementation or a potential attack on the network. The capabilities of a trained autoencoder are evaluated on a generated dataset with various types of anomalies. The autoencoder reaches an average accuracy of 66% across all types of generated anomalies. However, the detection accuracy of sequences containing a high amount of random noise is 100%.
