Flow-Cookies: Using Bandwidth Amplification to Defend Against DDoS Flooding Attacks
Overview Distributed Denial-of-Service flooding attacks against public web servers are increasingly common. Websites without the ability to over-provision or rely on a CDN are often overwhelmed by such attacks. Existing proposals to combat flooding within the network either require substantial changes to the Internet infrastructure, or the difficult task of identifying attack aggregates near the core. This paper presents an easy to deploy mechanism whereby a third party with high access to bandwidth can protect a web server against bandwidth exhaustion from illegitimate traffic. With this mechanism, all traffic to and from a web site is routed via a third party managed middlebox.
