Worm infection is a critical problem for network application technology and security. In order to decrease the destruction of worm to network application technology, a worm containment method using benign worms was proposed, and an approach of high-fidelity modeling on packet-level of worm propagation and containment with benign worms was designed. The experiment results show that benign worms can contain the infection of malicious worms effectively, and the initial locality of worm, the delay time between the start time of benign worm and malicious worm, background traffic of the network will affect the propagation and containment of worms.
Network traffic is the key factor to describe the adaptive business of Internet. As Internet becomes key battlefield of cyber warfare, how to model the Internet traffic at the macro level has become a hot research topic in war simulation and cyber warfare. Focusing on the global undersea cable system which serves as the backbone of the Internet, this paper proposes an Internet traffic modeling method based on multi-commodity flow. This method can estimate the traffic demand between each pair of regions, generate traffic flow distribution in global undersea cable system, and support adaptive adjustment of Internet traffic according to damage situation of undersea cable system in a crisis. Finally, the method is validated by an example.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
