Abstract: According to the architecture of the cloud computing Data Center Networks(DCNs), the Low-rate Denial of Service(LDoS)attack is modeled from the view of network architecture. Furthermore, the euclidean approach is applied to the available bandwidth to detect LDoS attacks. As LDoS attacks force the links co-located in the same routing domain to increase their available bandwidths, the average euclidean distance is applied as the measurement for detecting LDoS attacks. And then, the traditional Probe Gap Model(PGM)is improved to test the available bandwidth specifically in cloud computing. Experiments in practical network are conducted to test the attack effect and the detection performance. Test results verify: 1)LDoS attacks present more damages than Flooding Denial of Service(FDoS)attacks in cloud computing DCNs, 2)The proposed detection approach can detect LDoS attack accurately, and achieves 98% detection probability.

Key words: cloud computing, available bandwidth, attack detection, euclidean distance, low-rate denial of service attack
