Abstract

Peer-to-Peer (P2P) has become a popular networking method with highly desired characteristics of robustness and scalability. However, the decentralized P2P computing models have some serious security problems which may cause large-scale Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS). This paper introduces the P2P technology and the DDoS attacks in the particular networking environment. The challenges for detection and prevention of P2P DDoS have been discussed and recent countermeasures highlighted.
