Abstract :
Fast-flux service network (FFSN) is consisted of a large scale of computers which have two main functions. Firstly, by providing a pool of huge number of IP addresses, the controller of FFSN can choose the IPs to provide services for their own domain name. Secondly, these computers can be served as agents to hide mother-ship. The character of FFSN is that the DNS records of domain name changes constantly at a high frequency. In this paper, we analyze the issue on the reliability of FFSN. The issue is resulted from the uncontrollable nodes of FFSN. We establish a model to describe the reliability by the theory of Poisson Process, and analyze the relationship between the reliability of FFSN and its size.
