In this paper, we advocate that routers will filter bandwidth depletion of DDoS traffic. It is our consideration that server owners who experience an attack should work with ISP routers to defend DDoS. The main idea is to use statistical approaches of Netflow to allocate weighted bandwidth at the routers. We propose a new algorithm based on genetic algorithm to filter traffic on routers and maximize goodput. The feasibility and effectiveness of our approach is validated by measuring the performance of an experimental prototype against a series of attacks. The advantages of the scheme are discussed and further research directions are given.
