Abstract :
In various assessments of potential intrusions in modern networks, the flooding-based DDoS attack takes center stage. The main purpose of this paper has been to review DDoS flooding attacks in optical burst switching networks and analyze their impact. A set of optical network protocol vulnerabilities have been identified. Countermeasures against the intrusion have been discussed.
