End users, service providers and network operators are all adversely

30、 affected by such attacks. In order to deal with these attacks, traceback was developed, and it has now evolved for several years. Traceback attempts to discover information about the attack source(s) for the purpose of pursuing remediation measures. For example, when a distributed denial of service

31、 (DDoS) attack occurs, network providers along the attack path may be able to detect and mitigate DDoS traffic at the ingress points with the help of traceback. Traceback has evolved from network operational tools that have existed for a long time and it has been included as part of the network mana

32、gement systems and products. Indeed, the basic traceroute tool is provided with almost every computer and network element operating system. When combined with directory systems such as WHOIS b-IETF RFC 3912, some basic traceback capabilities can be created. These, and other techniques, are examples

33、of the type of traceback used by service providers. This Supplement does not describe such techniques but rather the usability considerations of traceback. Clauses 7 and 8 describe the overview and usability considerations of traceback. 7 Possible traceback capabilities in networks 7.1 Source identi

34、fication A service provider seeking to uncover the source of a problematic network event may use traceback immediately after the incident has been identified. In the scenario in which the service provider has made appropriate investment in, and configuration of, core and edge routers based on the ap

35、plied traceback mechanisms, operators may be able to uncover at the edge router or the incoming physical port the source of the problematic network event. Source identification may help operators stop the problematic network event or mitigate its impact. 7.2 Ingress point identification A network op

36、erator that operates a region/domain (with multiple links to adjacent regions/domains) may use traceback to identify the set of links affected by a particular network incident. The ability to narrow down the number of affected links may help operators expedite the investigation and, when necessary,

37、apply mitigation procedures. 7.3 Partial path identification If traceback is both deployed and possible across multiple regions/domains, it can be used to uncover a partial path of widespread attacks. While source identification across multiple regions/domains may be difficult under partial tracebac

38、k deployment, some applications of traceback may be able to identify the partial path or multiple paths of a problematic network event, in support of the mitigation procedures across multiple regions/domains. X series Supplement 10 (01/2014) 3 8 Potential applications of traceback 8.1 Application to

39、 DDoS attacks DDoS attacks are characterized by large amounts of traffic that originates in multiple sources and is destined to particular network end resources. It is sent with the intention of rendering the targeted resources unavailable to the intended users. Figure 1 shows a typical DDoS attack

40、scenario. The target of the DDoS attack is the victim served by Domain/region 1. The DDoS attack not only affects the victim but also the resources within Domain/region 1. The attack traffic comes into Domain/region 1 from Domain/region 2 and Domain/region 3, which belong to different network provid

41、ers. Figure 1 Typical DDoS attack applications As DDoS attacks typically attempt to overwhelm the network resources (bandwidth) of the connection circuit between the victim and the provider, the victim expects that the network provider will block the attack traffic before it reaches the targeted res

42、ources. Because DDoS attacks can involve hundreds or thousands of sources, or more, sending attack packets, it is difficult to identify the source of all such packets. Traceback is useful in this case not for identification of the sources, but rather for identification of the ingress points and part

43、ial paths within the providers network where the DDos attack can best be mitigated. Traceback, in this case, helps network providers to determine the ingress edge router and affected high value links. In the DDoS scenario in Figure 1, the quick solution is dropping DDoS traffic at edge router R1. Bu

44、t if the attack traffic has reached R1, there has already been a great deal of unwanted traffic flooding the network and other network elements within Domain/region 1, which wastes network bandwidth and platform resources. Therefore, by using traceback within Domain/region 1, operators can determine

45、 specific ingress points from other providers; namely Domain/region 2 and Domain/region 3, but not Domain/region 4. Domain/region 1 providers may wish to engage in cooperative traceback with Domain/region 2 and Domain/region 3 providers, to enable pushing mitigations even further towards attack sour

47、de vi c e4 X series Supplement 10 (01/2014) several better solutions, like for example, dropping the DDoS attack traffic at R4, the access device of Domain/region 3, and at R5, the peering router between Domain/region 1 and Domain/region 3. Various factors may affect traceback. There may be various

48、network environments, such as networks with IPv4 and IPv6 addresses, networks with different access techniques (e.g., asymmetric digital subscriber line (ADSL), cable and Ethernet), etc. In addition, the attacker may be using packets with spoofed source addresses, may be located behind network addre

49、ss translations (NATs) and/or may have its IP address assigned dynamically. Traceback must consider all of these various network environments. 8.2 Application to misconfiguration issues Many network and application issues are caused by misconfiguration. In such situations, operators might find such misconfiguration problems with the help of traceback after problematic network events have occurred. 8.3 Application to routing issues A domain/region always has several links to adjacen
