Software Defined Network (SDN) has been greatly valued over the last few years. Many architectures of cloud computing network are built by Software Defined Network. The service model of cloud computing can be divided into three types: Infrastructure as a service, Platform as a service, and Software as a service. Currently, many cloud providers provide virtual machine service. And their virtualization platform are built by Xen. The inter connection of VM in cloud use the network that are defined and operated by software. The Government, schools, and companies put their websites and databases on the virtual machines in cloud computing. Thus it caused a lot of usage for virtual machine. However, the accompanying issues are virtual machine security and other challenge in cloud computing. In inter-cloud computing environment, the user may be suffered attacks in all directions. The attacks may come from external or internal. Thus, we need intrusion detection and prevention system to block attacks. External Switch or internal virtual switch can receive these malicious packets. Therefore, our study used intrusion detection and prevention system should monitor the two places. By the Stanford University developed the NetFPGA platform which is based on a programmable NIC, and Open vSwitch to build OpenFlow Software Defined Network. We use OpenFlow Switch and Open vSwitch Software Defined Network to build inter-cloud computing environment. And also use Xen to provide virtual machine service. We will install intrusion prevention and detection system, Snort, on domain-0 and Software Defined Network to protect the virtual machines on the Xen platform. External machines or internal virtual machines will attack normal virtual machines, our result show that External machines and internal virtual machines can’t attack normal virtual machines.
