Amongst different threats relating to cloud environment, the Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) attacks play a significant role as the attack may affect many distributed systems. In order to mitigate with these types of attacks, the authors have already proposed a novel N-S architecture and its associated algorithms in the form of a suite. This paper deals with the performance analysis of the said suite under different categories such as during non-attacks, attacks and also post-attack periods. The performance has also been compared with a conventional single-server model and results indicate good improvements in terms of response time.
