Quality of services method as a DDoS protection tool

Abstract

Presently, one of the main problems of computer networks are Distributed Denial of Service attacks which can block network resources like servers. In order to prevent such situations some mechanisms are needed. This paper gives an overview of the Quality of Services methods. A DDoS attack model is described for development purposes. In conslusion some new QoS features are presented. According to presented features QoS method could be used as a protection tool against DDoS attack which is also proven in this paper. The ability to implement the proposed QoS features has already been partially tested. Presented results suggest that the method could be applied widely in practice.
