METHOD FOR ALLOCATING AN IDENTIFIER TO A CLIENT NODE, METHOD FOR RECORDING AN IDENTIFIER, CORRESPONDING DEVICE, CLIENT NODE, SERVER AND COMPUTER PROGRAMS
A method for allocating an identifier to a first client node of a client domain, the first client node managing traffic associated with the client domain to protect it against a computing attack. The method includes: receiving a request for allocating a client node identifier from the first client node, the request including information identifying the client node; obtaining a list of client node identifiers already allocated to the client nodes active at least in the client domain; allocating to the first client node a client node identifier not belonging to the list obtained; recording in a local memory an association between the allocated identifier and the information; sending a response to the first client node, including the allocated identifier; and sending a request for recording the identifier allocated to the first client node in the domain to a traffic management server associated with the domain.
