Interest Flooding Attack in Named Data Network: Case Study on Palapa Ring Topology

This research focuses on the interest flooding attack model and its impact on the consumer in the Named Data Networking (NDN) architecture. NDN is a future internet network architecture has advantages compared to the current internet architecture. The NDN communication model changes the communication paradigm from a packet delivery model based on IP addresses to names. Data content needed is not directly taken from the provider but stored in a distributed manner on the router. Other consumer request data can served by nearest router. It will increase the speed of data access and reduce delay. The changes communication model also have an impact on the existing security system. One attack that may occur is the threat of a denial of service (DoS) known as an interest flooding attack. This attack makes the network services are being unavailable. This paper discussed examining the interest flooding attack model that occurred and its impact on the performance of NDN. The result shows that interest flooding attacks can decrease consumer satisfied interest.
