Abstract
The Quiet DDoS attack was proposed in 2009 by Amey and Nirwan. It launches certain number of TCP flows to reduce the transferring ability of normal TCP flows by using botnet. By the simulation experiments on the NS2 platform, we analyze the factors and their impacts on the attack in detail. According to the results of simulation, we give some suggestion to counter the Quiet DDoS attack.
