Benchmarks for Evaluation of Distributed Denial of Service (DDOS)

摘要

The main goal of our work was to develop the benchmark suite for evaluation of defenses against distributed denial-of-service (DDoS) attacks. The desired features of the benchmark suite were the following: (1) Realistic topologies, legitimate and attack traffic are represented in the suite; (2) A wide variety of attack variants is present in the suite; (3) Benchmarks can be used by novice experiments easily; (4) There is a common, intuitive and scientifically accurate measure of an attacks impact on network services in any given scenario. This measure is easily obtained by experimenters and can be used to compare effectiveness of diverse defenses.
