Abstract: Systems and methods for providing an integrated or Smart NIC-based hardware accelerator for a network security device to facilitate identification and mitigation of DoS attacks is provided. According to one embodiment, a processor of a network security device receives an application layer protocol request from a client, directed to a domain hosted by various servers and protected by the network security device. The application layer protocol request is parsed to extract a domain name and a path string. The hardware acceleration sub-system updates rate-based counters based on the application layer protocol request by performing a longest prefix match on the domain name and the path string. When a rate threshold associated with the rate-based counters is exceeded, a challenge message is created and transmitted to the client, having embedded therein the application layer protocol request; otherwise the application layer protocol request is allowed to pass through the network security device.

Abstract: Systems and methods for selectively processing packets based on their classification by a CBF are provided. According to one embodiment, a network device receives a packet, extracts n-tuple values from the header of the packet that are indicative of a particular transport protocol connection with which the packet is associated, determines whether the particular transport protocol connection represents an active transport protocol connection represented within the CBF by searching the CBF based on the n-tuple values. When the packet is a first packet of a new connection, counters maintained by the CBF corresponding to the n-tuple values are incremented. When a decrement event is detected for one or more of the counters, they are decremented. Finally, the packet is processed in accordance with its classification as a first packet of a new connection or a subsequent packet of an existing connection.
