Comparison of Various DoS Algorithm

Abstract

Denial of service attack is one of the most devastating and ruinous attacks on the internet. The attack can be performed by flooding the victim's machine with any kind of packets. Throughout all these years many methods have been proposed to reduce the impact, but with machines of higher capabilities coming in, the attack has also become more potent, and these proposals are either less effective or less efficient. A DoS attack exhausts the victim's resources affecting the availability of the resource. This paper will be comparing a few methods that have been proposed and published in various papers along with a newly proposed method. The comparison of the methods is done on a number of parameters including resource utilization, reaction time, worst case scenarios, etc. This paper also checks the viability of these methods over various layers of the network. Concluding with the best aspects of all the papers and the best among these for the current real conditions.
