The extraordinary emergence and attainment of Internet has changed the way traditional essential services such as transportation, banking, education and defense are operated. Now they are being increasingly replaced by cheaper & effective Internet-based applications. Hence, the availability of Internet is very vital for the socio-economic growth of the society. However, the underlying vulnerabilities of the Internet architecture provide chance for a lot of attacks on its infrastructure and services. As the DDoS threat grows in sophistication and severity, all businesses and organizations that depend upon the Internet are at risk. In this paper we present a co-operative cross layer mechanism for mitigation of DDoS attack, as all the mechanism to mitigate the DDoS attack are applied at the single layer or multi-layer. To enhance the overall security against DDoS attack, cross-layer approach will be the constructive solution. Combination of Device-Driver Packet Filter (Cuckoo Filter) & Remote Firewall will be solution for this as a cross layer approach. Device driver level packet filtering is designed to kill harmful network traffic before it consumes resources at the server side. To defend access links from DDoS attacks by sinking destructive network traffic before they get into the link the remote firewall is intended with a cross-layer control. The achievement of proposed mechanism is checked through extensive simulation in Java which shows that (67, 3429) malicious packets are dropped for respective dataset.
