Abstract

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 attack s 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.
