Robustness of RED in Mitigating LDoS Attack

Abstract

The Random Early Detection algorithm is widely used in the queue management mechanism of the router. We find that the parameters of the RED algorithm have a significant influence on the defense performance of the random early detection algorithm and discuss the robust of the algorithm in mitigating Low-rate Denial-of-Service attack in details. Simulation results show that the defense performance can be effectively improved by adjusting the parameters of Q min andQ max . Some suggestions are given for mitigating the LDoS attack at the end of this paper.
