Improving Network Performance and mitigate DDoS attacks using Analytical Approach under Collaborative Software as a Service (SaaS) Cloud Computing Environment
Palvinder Singh Mann, Dinesh Kumar · 2011
Cloud computing emerges as a potential technology for the future and expanding on one of the principles of utility computing is often claimed to represent a completely new paradigm for viewing and accessing computational resources. In essence, cloud computing is a way of abstracting and outsourcing hardware or software resources over the Internet, often to a third party on a pay-as-you-go basis. As the technology grows, so as the threats and recent Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) attacks on clouds has become one of the serious threats to this buzzing technology. In this paper We are going to present a novel algorithm, which is based on an analytical approach to mitigate DDoS attacks on Cloud, the simulation results based on cloudsim (an extensible simulation toolkit that enables modeling and simulation of cloud computing systems) proves it to be an effective measure to counterpart the DDoS attacks.
