Anomaly detection of large scale network based on data streams by ZHENG Jun, HU Ming-zeng, YUN Xiao-chun, ZHENG Zhong

“…The anomaly detection algorithms of the large scale network（LSN） were required to analysis the vast network traffic of G bit level in real-time and on-the-fly.A novel monitoring mechanism of LSN anomaly detection based on the data stream approach was proposed.The main contributions included: the sketch data structure and the frequent sketch algorithm of data streams were designed for anomaly detection of LSN.Optimized query methods were designed for customizing the security monitoring and detection policy with the correlations of multi data streams.The data reduction was proposed to make it possible that the whole network traffic character could be got using a few of special data streams.The experiments of the real networking environments validate the effectivity of LSN anomaly detection methods.…”

DDoS defense with IP traceback and path identification by JIN Guang, ZHANG Fei, QIAN Jiang-bo, ZHANG Hong-hao

“…A novel idea to combine both IP traceback and path identification（Pi） was proposed,and malicious packets could be identified and filtered at located upstream nodes.Then a practical packet marking and filtering scheme was proposed.The nodes along the path out of the destination domain deployed Pi.Meanwhile the border router of the destination domain deployed the traceback marking scheme.The victim could retrieve related information from arrived malicious packets.Then Pi-based filtering could be implemented at the border ingresses.A practical marking,storing and filtering scheme was provided in detail.The results of large-scale simulations with authoritative Internet topologies show the scheme is effective to alleviate attack impacts on the victim and upstream links in the destination domain.…”

Spectrum Handoff with Channel Sensing Sequencing in Cognitive Radio Network by Xingyu Zhu, Huaibei Zhou, Junyuan Huang

“…In the cognitive radio network，when the primary users show up，the secondary users should vacate the channel and find another free channel for data transmissions.This is the so-called spectrum handoff.There are two most important performance metrics for spectrum handoff：handoff delay and handoff times.A novel spectrum handoff scheme with channel sensing sequencing was proposed in order to decrease both handoff delay and handoff times.When designing the channel sensing sequence，the channel free probability was considered，and the probability that no handoff will happen in a channel was considered as well.The simulation results show that the method not only can get the minimum handoff delay as the traditional method does，but also can decrease the handoff times were significantly compared with the traditional method.…”

Fast dynamic channel allocation algorithm based on priority channel reservation by SHI Wen-xiao, ZHAO Jun, CHI Xue-fen, LI Na

“…Aiming at overcoming the shortages of the current fast dynamic channel allocation algorithm in TD-SCDMA system,a novel fast dynamic channel allocation algorithm based on priority channel reservation was proposed.This algorithm defined call priority by equipment attribution of baton handover user,reserved channels for baton handover calls.Combining with grouping borrowed algorithm,the algorithm made MB DCA strategy more flexible.Simulation results show that,comparing to the mixed-data rate grouping borrowed algorithm,the proposed algorithm achieves the preferential access of VIP and high rate mobile user,reduces the call failure probability resulted from the baton handover,improves the performance of data service,and increases the channel utilization efficiency.…”

Research on multi-source application level multicast for awareness driven virtual space teleconferencing by ZHANG Xu, WU Hui-zhong

“…Virtual space teleconferencing is a novel CSCW tool that has abroad application perspective.There is no effi-cient communication mechanism to realize virtual space teleconferencing on Internet because most of end hosts in today’s Internet have limited access bandwidth and the Internet does not support IP multicast.Adopting mesh-first and centralized strategies,a multi-source application level multicast method ESMVST for awareness driven virtual space teleconferenc-ing on Internet was devised.The research focused on ESMVST method’s application level multicast routing model VSTMMR and proposed a heuristic routing algorithm MDMM.The result of experiment shows that MDMM algorithm could reduce both algorithm’s rejection rate and data distribution trees’ maximal delay effectively,and ESMVST method is feasible.…”
