METHOD AND SYSTEM TO RESOLVE A DISTRIBUTED DENIAL OF SERVICE ATTACK THROUGH DENYING RADIO RESOURCE ALLOCATION OF INFECTED END DEVICES

摘要

Methods and systems to resolve a distributed denial of service (DDoS) attack in a wireless network are disclosed. In one embodiment, a method comprises receiving signaling messages along with samples of spurious traffic sourced from one or more end devices, where the one or more end devices connect to the wireless network for internet connectivity. The method continues with determining, based the samples, that there is a DDoS attack occurring in which a set of one or more of the end devices is acting as bots in a botnet, and are thus are infected end devices, and causing denial of radio resource allocation to the set of one or more of the infected end devices.
