Abstract

As the world is getting increasingly dependent on the Internet, the availability of web services has been a key concern for various organizations. Application Layer DDoS (AL-DDoS) attacks may hamper the availability of web services to the legitimate users by flooding the request queue of the web server. Hence, it is pertinent to focus fundamentally on studying the queue scheduling policies of web server against the HTTP request flooding attack which has been the base of this research work. In this paper, the various types of AL-DDoS attacks launched by exploiting the HTTP protocol have been reviewed. The key aim is to compare the requests queue scheduling policies of web server against HTTP request flooding attack using NS2 simulator. Various simulation scenarios have been presented for comparison, and it has been established that queue scheduling policy can be a significant role player in tolerating the AL-DDoS attacks.
