Abstract

ZMW is a BGP-session-targeted LDoS (Low-Rate Denial of Service) attack, which can leave a drastic impact on the network infrastructure. Therefore, it’s essential to identify and know the attack. In this paper, we first establish a small-scale and double-link experimental network of BGP on the network simulator GNS3 to study this attack and generate LDoS attack flows by getting the required parameters. Then, we redo ZMW attack on target links through single nodes. We measure the overall effect of ZMW attack by monitoring the data traffic of target links and redundant links, and identify the links with route flapping by gathering the characteristic parameter, BGP table version number, and finally measure the attack efficiency of ZMW with adjusting the lengthen of UDP packet. We study and grasp this attack technology against BGP session, so as to give proper prevention scheme in time, thus effectively ensure the security of network and communication.
