Packet Score based network security and Traffic Optimization

TL;DR

This paper proposes a packet scoring method to enhance network security and traffic management by classifying and discarding attack packets, addressing DDoS threats effectively.

Contribution

It introduces an automated online attack classification system that assigns scores to packets based on attributes and probability distributions, improving DDoS mitigation.

Findings

Effective attack packet identification and discarding

Improved network security against DDoS attacks

Enhanced traffic management through scoring

Abstract

One of the critical threat to internet security is Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS). This paper by the introduction of automated online attack classification and attack packet discarding helps to resolve the network security issue by certain level. The incoming packets are assigned scores based on the priority associated with the attributes and on comparison with probability distribution of arriving packets on per packet basis.
