Abstract

In this paper, we propose a cooperative management method to increase the service survivability in a large-scale networked information system. We assume that the system is composed of multiple domains and there exists a domain manager in each domain, which is responsible to monitor network traffics and control resource usage in the domain. Inter-domain cooperation against distributed denial of service (DDoS) attacks is achieved through the exchange of pushback and feedback messages. The management method is designed not only to prevent network resources from being exhausted by the attacks but also to increase the possibility that legitimate users can fairly access the target services. Though the experiment on a test-bed, the proposed method was verified to be able to maintain high survivability in a cost-effect manner even when DDoS attacks exist.
