Efficient Detection of Link-Flooding Attacks with Deep Learning
The DDoS attack is one of the most notorious attacks, and the severe impact of the DDoS attack on GitHub in 2018 raises the importance of designing effective defense methods for detecting this type of attack. Unlike the traditional network architecture that takes too long to cope with DDoS attacks,...
