RANDOMIZED SWAPNILs PACKET MARKING AND TRACEBACKING (RSPMT) TECHNIQUE FOR EFFICIENT IP TRACEBACK

The an efficient packet marking technique called swapnil’s packet marking and tracebacking (SPMT) technique that requires the amount of packets equal to the hop distance between the attack initiator and the server (destination) [1], which is less than 31 hops [3] [4], and can undergo certain kind of attacks like constant ID field value, and absence of router in the network chosen for marking. In this paper, we present a randomized version of SPMT called as Randomized Swapnil’s packet marking and tracebacking (RSPMT) technique to avoid such attacks. Even though RSPMT may take more packets for effective traceback, it is more resilient to the kind of attacks that are possible on SPMT.
