Abstract

Defending against DoS attacks is extremely difficult; effective solutions probably require significant changes to the Internet architecture. We present a series of architectural changes aimed at preventing most flooding DoS attacks, and making the remaining attacks easier to defend against. The goal is to stimulate a debate on trade-offs between the flexibility needed for future Internet evolution and the need to be robust to attack.
