With rapid growth of the Internet, network intrusions have greatly increased and damage of attacks has become more serious. Recently some kinds of Internet attacks cause significant damage to overall network performance. Current Intrusion Detection Systems are not capable of performing the real-time detection on the backbone network In this paper, we propose the broadband network intrusion detection system using the exponential smoothing method. We made an experiment with real backbone traffic data for 8 days. The results show that our proposed system detects big jumps of traffic volume well.
