Palvinder Singh Mann, Dinesh Kumar . A Reactive Defense Mechanism based on an Analytical Approach to Mitigate DDoS Attacks and Improve Network Performance. International Journal of Computer Applications. 12, 12 ( January 2011), 43-46. DOI=10.5120/1734-2352
The Distributed denial of service attacks (DDoS) have become more and more frequent and caused some fatal problems in the recent time. Internet users experience denial-of-service (DoS) attacks every day. Our inboxes are swamped with spam containing subject lines that sometimes fool us; our search-engine queries return many irrelevant results; and online auctions are plagued by corrupt database records filled with intentionally misleading keywords and many more .Intense research have been done to detect and defend such attacks, however, many solutions are still in the phase of theoretical studies. Some of them may have certain practical value, but they have to reconstruct the existing network and the routing instruments with great cost.
