One of the most compelling problems of the Internet is the lack of a comprehensive and unifying approach to dealing with service security and resilience. Although many such individual reliability mechanisms exist, no general set of policies or standards exists regarding how these mechanisms can be combined to achieve an overall robust state of security for the network. Network Availability for Internet Services: Threats and Defenses introduces solutions for defending against distributed denial of service (DDoS) attacks. This book proposes and evaluates practical mechanisms that will frustrate these attacks, and protect a wide range of services while maintaining or even improving their performance characteristics. The focus is on network-level faults and attacks. This book provides a practical end-to-end framework that significantly improves service availability and connectivity, without incurring a prohibitive deployment or performance cost. First book to focus on current network attacks and defenses on Internet services including Web services, Voice over IP (VoIP), Remote Desktop and Streaming applications Includes tradeoffs and limits of each attack; defense mechanism known in terms of performance, scalability and economic cost; evaluates metrics in case studies INDICE: Preface.- Adaptive Availability for non-Dynamic Content Distribution Services.- Enhancing the Availability of Dynamic Web Services using WebSOS.- Enabling End-to-End Service Protection Using Process Migration.- End-to-End Protection Using Stateless Multi-Path Overlays.- Protecting Indirection Overlay Networks against Malicious Insiders.- Index.
