Abstract:
Methods and apparatus for detecting and minimizing the effects of Denial Of Service (DOS) attacks in high-speed networks in which packet processing is carried out by multiple processing cores. In one embodiment of the invention a communications method and apparatus detects and deletes denial of service attack packets in a multi-core distributed packet processing system using a lightweight DOS attack packet detection and deletion process.
