  • Abstract
    In this paper, we outline the recent efforts of our research in defense against Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) attacks. In particular, we present a novel approach to IP traceback, namely Unique Flow Marking (UFM), and we evaluate UFM against other marking schemes. Our results show that the UFM can reduce the number of marked packets compared to the other marking schemes, while achieving a better performance in terms of its ability to trace back the attack.
