Fast autonomous system traceback
Service-oriented computing (SOC) due to their distributed and lose coupled nature are very vulnerable to distributed denial of service (DDoS) attacks. IP spoofing makes it difficult for the victim to determine the packet's origin. There is a need for a mechanism that could enable real-time traceback of the origins of the attacks. In this paper, we propose a novel protocol, fast autonomous system traceback (FAST) to traceback to the attack originating autonomous systems (AS). The multifold advantages of FAST include reconstruction requires just around 510 packets and reconstruction takes just a few seconds. We validate the performance through extensive simulations over the datasets obtained from traceroute.
