Abstract
The primary purpose of Denial of Service attack
(DoS) is to cripple resources so that the resources are made
unavailable to the legitimate users. Due to the inadequate
monitoring of activities on the network, it has resulted into huge
financial losses. Bandwidth which is one of the resources being
used on the network, if not properly monitored could result into
misused and attack. This paper proposes a real time system for
securing and monitoring the amount of bandwidth consumed on
the network using the multi-agent framework technology. It also
keeps a record of internet protocol (IP) addresses visiting the
network and may be used as a starting point for the aspect of
response in providing a comprehensive solution to DoS attacks.
The bandwidth is pre-entered and an agent is assigned to
monitor bandwidth consumption rate against the set threshold. If
the bandwidth is consumed above the bandwidth limit and time
set, then a DoS attack is suspected taking into considerations the
DoS attack framework. This framework can be used as a
replicate of what happen in the network scenario environment.
