Abstract
Description
technical field
[0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of network information security, in particular to an SDN (software defined network) segment routing defense method against link flooding attacks. Background technique
[0002] Link flooding attack (Link Flooding Attack, LFA) is a new type of DDoS attack (distributed denial of service attack), which has recently attracted great attention from academia and industry. Among them, Coremelt attack and Crossfire attack are regarded as the most threatening LFA. The Coremelt attack is launched in three steps: ① select the target link in the core network; ② select a zombie machine that can generate traffic traversing the target link; ③ generate traffic and flood the target link. Crossfire is an evolution of Coremelt with new concepts of flow density and rolling attacks. Crossfire attacks are usually initiated through four steps: ①Building a link graph; ②Calculating flow density and selecting target links; ③Coordinat...
