IP Traceback method by OpenFlow

Abstract

IP traceroute is used to find the routes of egress packets, while IP traceback is used to find the routes of ingress packets. DDoS attacks spoof source IP address and IP traceback is useful to detect true source IP address of DDoS attacks. This paper proposes the method of IP traceback and implements the method at OpenFlow controllers. This paper also evaluates the load of IP traceback on OpenFlow controllers by experiments.
