An Efficient Defense Scheme against SIP DoS Attack in SDN Using Cloud SFW

Abstract

With the fast emergence of Software-Defined Networking (SDN) and Cloud SIP Fire Wall (SFW), new solution is possible to defend SIP DoS attacks in IMS core network, which is impossible in traditional telecomm network through traditional SFW. In this paper, we first analyze the security threats of SIP DoS attacks in the telecomm network. And then based on the analysis, we construct the SIP DoS attack and defense models using queue theory. Further to this, based on the models, we propose an efficient SIP DoS attack defense scheme which is using priority queue and bandwidth control method. At last, simulation was taken to analyze and verify how our defense scheme improves the performance of cloud SFW and saves bandwidth during SIP DoS attack.
