Traceroute Using an IP Option

Internet has become a foundation of our modern society. However, all regions or countries do not have the same Internet access regarding quality especially in the Indian Ocean Area (IOA). To improve this quality it is important to have a deep knowledge of the Internet physical and logical topology and associated performance. However, these knowledges are not shared by Internet service providers. In this paper, we describe a large scale measurement study in which we deploy probes in different IOA countries, we generate network traces, develop a tool to extract useful information and analyze these information. We show that most of the IOA traffic exits through one point even if there exists multiple exit points.

“…Since the copy of connection request should not be received by the destination host, the PWC agent replaces the TTL value with the number of hops to the border of network. Given the address of the border router, the agent can measure exact number of hops, using the same method as TRACEROUTE does [41]. Thus, the signature extractor can see worm scans as if the sources were not contained, while the scan from the contained host cannot reach the victims.…”

We propose PWC, a proactive worm containment solution for enterprises. PWC can stop-instead of just slow down-an infected host from releasing worm scans as early as after merely four scans. Motivated by the observation that a worm uses a sustained outgoing packet rate, PWC gains infection awareness seconds before a signature or filter can be generated. To overcome denial-of-service possibly caused by such characteristic indicators of infection, PWC develops two new white detection (detecting who are uninfected) techniques: (a) the vulnerability time window lemma, and (b) the relaxation analysis. PWC does not rely on contents-based signatures thus it can defend against polymorphic worms timely in containment. PWC is also resilient to containment evading. PWC is not sensitive to worm scan rate, and not protocol specific. Due to white detection, PWC causes minimal denial-of-service. Evaluation based on real traces and worm simulations demonstrates that PWC significantly outperforms Virus Throttle in terms of number of released worm scans, number of hosts infected by local scans, and denial-of-service effects.

“…For prerequisite 1, investigations on promising approaches are ongoing. This includes mechanisms to retrieve location information from the TCP/IP protocol stack (e.g., derived from latency measurements based on Traceroute [7] or by leveraging a locationverified care-of address as used in mobile IP) or from technical equipment (e.g., by means of certificates provided by a network operator). Similarly, the selection process of candidates to provide the basic mechanisms for a solution to prerequisite 2 started recently.…”

Abstract. Internet design principles do not focus on commercial service provisioning. Hence, support mechanisms need to be implemented in order to ensure that value added services can be offered in a competitive context. Commercial product offerings base on contractual agreements concluded between service providers and service customers. Contracts need to reflect business-driven requirements originating from involved contract parties, while they are invariably required to respect those regulations imposed by commerce law. Legal compliance, thus, determines the available range of applicable contractual termsirrespective of whether such a contract governs commercial value added services in the Internet or not. Legal determinations are valid in a limited geographical area. The Internet, however, lacks a distinct notion of location. Consequently, technical means to overcome this fundamental design gap are investigated, in order to ensure that legally compliant contracts can be concluded.
