This is a project designed to research the most cost effective way to lower the threat of Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) attacks. In doing so, we will use nothing but freely available open source software to perform our initial tests. Once that is done, we would like to compare them to the expensive load balancing equipment available from F5 and Big IP. Below is a list of items we hope to deliver to the open source community:
If more interested in the overall idea behind the project, please take a look at the Project Plan.
I'm trying to find the best setup to use. I want to test between the following:
As of now, I'm working on testing Linux KVM as the base platform. Check Preliminary Testing Results for the raw data.
Since the recent acceptance to start using the DETER test bed, the initial goals have been shifted to get the test suite working so that the experiments may start. The Initial Test Environment page will be kept for historical reference.
If you're interested in helping out with this project, please head over to the Project Plan page. Read everything there and get to know what we are trying to accomplish. Once you have done that visit the application page and fill out the form there. You will here from us once we review the application.
The initial test environment is still being put together. Here you can track progress of what has been setup so far. Soon to come is the Sourceforge page for our test suite and the beginnings of some code.
