A survey of IP traceback mechanisms to overcome denial-of-service attacks
Shweta Vincent, Joshva Raja · International Conference on Networking · 2010
The technique of IP traceback is used to overcome Denial-of-Service attacks. This paper deals with explaining the two types of IP traceback techniques namely, Packet Marking and Packet Logging which have been proposed earlier. The paper further explains about a hybrid IP traceback technique which uses both packet marking and logging. The hybrid technique claims to have a better performance level in terms of reducing the storage overhead at the routers by half and the access time overhead by the number of neighboring routers. Future enhancements have been proposed in the domain of security for the entire system.
