Abstract

In this paper, we propose a global traffic control architecture to isolate network attacks from normal traffic in the backbone networks designed to serve normal traffic only. Unlike existing methods based on individual packets or flows, the proposed traffic control methods are operated on the aggregate traffic level, so the computational complexity can be significantly reduced, and they are applicable to develop a global defense architecture against attacks to network infra-structure. Experimental results show that the proposed scheme can detect the network attack symptoms very exactly and quickly, and protect the network resources as well as the normal traffic flows very efficiently.
