  • Method and system for preventing denial of service attacks in a network
    Publication number: 20050195840
    Abstract: Leaky bucket state machines police packets and throttle packets of a stream or streams that are flowing from hosts towards the processor of a switch or router of a network. The throttling is performed by measuring and analyzing the actual flow rate(s) of the streams' packets. The actual flow rate(s) is compared to a predetermined threshold, which may be based on historical or estimated normal traffic patterns. If the actual flow rate exceeds the threshold associated with characteristics that relate packets to certain streams, packets are discarded from the streams having excessive flow rates. By discarding excessive packets having characteristics that correspond to packet information that typically causes a switch/router's processor to execute operations, the effects of a DoS attack are minimized while also minimizing the discarding of legitimate traffic packets.
