Methods and systems for establishment of VPN security policy by SDN application

1. A non-transitory computer readable medium including program instructions that, upon being executed by a processor, effectuate:

detecting, via a software defined network (SDN) application, a virtual private network (VPN) provider in a network;

receiving, from the VPN provider, server credentials for a VPN;

generating a security policy based upon a type or pattern of network traffic associated with the VPN; and

converting the security policy to a table interpretable by a node in the network.

2. The non-transitory computer readable medium of claim 1 , wherein the program instructions further effectuate receiving an alert from a network element that enforces a security rule based on the table.

3. The non-transitory computer readable medium of claim 2 , wherein the network element is a hybrid router configured to communicate via OpenFlow protocols.

4. The non-transitory computer readable medium of claim 2 , wherein the table includes an OpenFlow Table Type Pattern.

5. The non-transitory computer readable medium of claim 2 , wherein the table includes an OpenFlow Multi-Flow Table.

6. The non-transitory computer readable medium of claim 1 , wherein the security policy is based on an assessment of the network traffic related to the VPN.

7. The non-transitory computer readable medium of claim 6 , wherein the VPN is dynamically updated based on a conflict with the security policy.

8. The non-transitory computer readable medium of claim 7 , wherein the conflict is identified by associating a pattern in the table with the network traffic.

9. The non-transitory computer readable medium of claim 1 , wherein the VPN is a dynamic VPN.

10. The non-transitory computer readable medium of claim 9 , wherein the program instructions further effectuate monitoring the network traffic related to the dynamic VPN.

11. A non-transitory computer readable medium including program instructions that, upon being executed by a processor, effectuate:

detecting a software defined network (SDN) controller in a network;

authenticating with the SON controller;

receiving, via a virtual private network (VPN) provider, server credentials for a VPN;

generating a security policy related to network traffic associated with the VPN;

converting the security policy to a table; and

transmitting the table to the SDN controller.

12. The non-transitory computer readable medium of claim 11 , wherein the security policy is based on an assessment of the network traffic related to the VPN.

13. The non-transitory computer readable medium of claim 12 , wherein the VPN is dynamically updated based on a conflict with the security policy.

14. The non-transitory computer readable medium of claim 13 , wherein the conflict is identified by associating a pattern in the table with the network traffic.

15. The non-transitory computer readable medium of claim 11 , wherein the VPN is a dynamic VPN.

16. The non-transitory computer readable medium of claim 15 , wherein the program instructions further effectuate monitoring the network traffic related to the dynamic VPN.

17. The non-transitory computer readable medium of claim 11 , where the medium and the SON controller reside on a node.

18. The non-transitory computer readable medium of claim 11 , wherein the program instructions further effectuate communicating with a network element via OpenFlow protocols.

19. The non-transitory computer readable medium of claim 11 , wherein the table includes an OpenFlow Table Type Pattern.

20. The non-transitory computer readable medium of claim 11 , wherein the table includes an OpenFlow Multi-Flow Table.
