dc.description.abstractDistributed Denial of Service (DDoS) attacks are threats not only for the direct targets but also for the core of a network. These attacks can be so powerful that they can easily deplete the computing resources or bandwidth of the potential targets, by flooding packets on the intended server. They are also hard to detect in advance, hence methods to deal with them need to be proactive, but several researchers used reactive methods to deal with DDoS attacks. Building on an existing work which used SHA1 hashing method to encapsulate token, a proactive method was enhanced known as Enhanced Cluster Based (E-CluB) proactive framework used to improve on the distribution control aspects. The E-CluB aims at mitigating DDoS attacks by keeping the network performance degradation as little as possible using virtual machines to launch the DDoS attack using the Kali Linux Operating System. E-CluB also used Open Shortest Path First (OSPF) as its routing policy in the anycast network, including contemporary datagram options. The granularity of the existing system used 100% of its routers as the checking routers and the proposed system used 1% and achieved a better granularity control with respect to the efficiency filtering in the E-CluB. The proposed and existing systems were compared based on latency of transmission, granularity control and filtering efficiency of DDoS attacks using the wireshark analyzer and an improvement of 41.2% was achieved.en_US
