Abstract :
We analyse different worm and patch propagation models along with the ones we have developed and evaluated as a part of our ongoing passive P2P worm & patch modelling project. This is followed by a brief discussion on worm detection mechanisms proposed by various authors. Towards the very end of this article, we propose a distributed framework for passive worm throttling in P2P networks and discuss its feasibility and efficiency keeping in view different design considerations.
