Abstract
Accountability among Autonomous Systems (ASs) in a network ensures reliable identification of various customers within the ASs and provides defensibility against malicious customers within the ASs. In one implementation, reliable identification is achieved by implementing ingress filtering on data packets originating within individual ASs and defensibility is provided by filtering data packets on request. To facilitate on-request filtering, individual ASs are equipped with a Filter Request Server (FRS) to filter data packets from certain customers identified in a filter request. Thus, when a requesting customer makes a filter request against an offending customer, the FRS within the AS to which the offending customer belongs conducts on-request filtering and installs an on-request filter on a first-hop network infrastructure device for the offending customer. Consequently, the first-hop network infrastructure device filters any data packet sent from the offending customer to the requesting customer.
