Active Internet Traffic Filtering: Real-Time Response to Denial-of-Service Attacks
Overview This paper describes Active Internet Traffic Filtering (AITF), a mechanism for blocking highly Distributed Denial-of-Service (DDoS) attacks. These attacks are an acute contemporary problem, with few practical solutions available today; this paper describes the reasons why no effective DDoS filtering mechanism has been deployed yet. The paper shows that the current Internet's routers have sufficient filtering resources to thwart such attacks, with the condition that attack traffic be blocked close to its sources; AITF leverages this observation. The results demonstrate that AITF can block a million-flow attack within seconds, while it requires only tens of thousands of wire-speed filters per participating router - an amount easily accommodated by today's routers. AITF can be deployed incrementally and yields benefits even to the very first adopters.
