Abstract
The work presented in this paper is an implementation of a design of a DDoS simulation testbed that uses parameter estimation and probability fitting of source IP address features of a network. We explored the issue of lack of adequate and recent evaluation datasets, we therefore designed a way that can be used to generate synthetic data that simulates a DDoS attack. We found that the Gaussian probability distribution best represents the normal operations of a network, while the Poisson probability distribution represents the operations of a network under a DDoS attack.
