Abstract

Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) attacks currently represent a serious threat to the appropriate operation of Internet services. We propose an IP traceback system to be deployed at the level of Autonomous Systems (ASes) to deal with this threat. Our proposed AS-level IP traceback system contrasts with previous work as it requires a priori no knowledge of the network topology while allowing single packet traceback and incremental deployment. We also investigate and evaluate the strategic placement of our systems, showing that the partial deployment offered by our proposed system provides relevant results in IP traceback, rendering it feasible for large-scale networks such as the Internet.
