Abstract
One of the ways a malicious router can launch a Denial of Service (DoS) attack is by rerouting IP-packets of other destinations to the victim node. In this paper, based on the observed traffic anomalies, we ropose using a Markov chain model to calculate trustworthiness of routers in order to isolate the malicious ones. Furthermore, our approach reduces the false positives by including context information, such as traffic congestion and packet corruption. By means of simulation, we validate our proposed approach in both connection-oriented (i.e., TCP) and connection-less (i.e., UDP) environments.
