Methods and system for DMA based distributed denial of service protection
First Claim
1. A method for protection against denial of service attacks to a server the method comprising:
- receiving one or more TCP/IP packets over the network, at a network management device, wherein the packets are directed to a server;
determining, by the network management device, a presence of a SYN parameter within each of the received one or more TCP/IP packets;
assigning, by the network management device, the received one or more TCP/IP packets with the determined presence of the SYN parameter to a lower priority buffer and the received one or more TCP/IP packets without the determined presence of the SYN parameter to a higher priority buffer; and
prioritizing, by the network management device, service of the received one or more TCP/IP packets assigned to the higher priority buffer over the received one or more TCP/IP packets assigned to the lower priority bufferreading, by the network management device, source data associated with the received one or more TCP/IP .packets, the source data comprising a network address of a computer sending the received one or more TCP/IP packets;
determining, by the network management device, whether the assigned TCP/IP packets with the determined presence of SYN parameter requesting the new connection with the server are associated with a network address of the computer previously requesting the new connection;
assigning, by the network management device, the assigned one or more TCP/IP packets with the determined presence of SYN parameter requesting the new connection from the lower priority buffer to a least priority buffer when the assigned one or more TCP/IP packets with the determined presence of SYN parameter are determined to be associated with the network address of the computer previously requesting the new connection andprioritizing, by the network management device, service of the assigned one or more TCP/IP packets assigned to the lower priority buffer over the assigned one or more TCP/IP packets assigned to the least priority buffer.

Abstract
A method and system for protection against denial of service attacks to a server coupled to a network. The server may establish connections with client computers through the network. Packets are received over the network directed to the server. It is determined whether the packets are associated with an established connection. The packets associated with the established connection are separated for processing by the server in a first buffer. The packets requesting a new connection are separated in a second buffer. The packets in the second buffer requesting a new connection are serviced at a lower priority than the packets relating to established connections.

6. A non-transitory computer readable medium having stored thereon instructions for protecting against denial of service attack comprising machine executable code which when executed by at least one processor, causes the processor to perform steps comprising:
-
receiving one or more TCP/IP packets directed to a server; determining, by the network management device, a presence of a SYN parameter within each of the received one or more TCP/IP packets; assigning the received one or more TCP/IP packets with the determined presence of the SYN parameter to a lower priority buffer and the received one or more TCP/IP packets without the determined presence of the SYN parameter to a higher priority buffer; and prioritizing service of the received one or more TCP/IP packets assigned to the higher priority buffer over the received one or more TCP/IP packets assigned to the lower priority buffer reading source data associated with the received one or more TCP/IP packets, the source data comprising a network address of a computer sending the received one or more TCP/IP packets; determining whether the received TCP/IP packets with the determined presence of SYN parameter requesting the new connection with the server are associated with a network address of the computer previously requesting the new connection; assigning the received one or more TCP/IP packets with the determined presence of SYN parameter requesting the new connection from the lower priority buffer to a least priority buffer when the received one or more TCP/IP packets with the determined presence of SYN parameter are determined to be associated with the network address of the computer previously requesting the new connection; and prioritizing service of the received one or more TCP/IP packets with the determined presence of the SYN parameter assigned to the lower priority buffer over the received one or more TCP/IP packets with the determined presence of the SYN parameter assigned to the least priority buffer. - View Dependent Claims (7, 8, 9, 10)

11. A network management device comprising:
-
at least one of configurable hardware logic configured to be capable of implementing or a processor coupled to a memory and configured to execute programmed instructions stored in the memory comprising; receiving one or more TCP/IP packets directed to a server; determining, by the network management device, a presence of a SYN parameter within each of the received one or more TCP/IP packets; assigning the received one or more TCP/IP packets with the determined presence of the SYN parameter to a lower priority buffer and the received one or more TCP/IP packets without the determined presence of the SYN parameter to a higher priority buffer; and prioritizing service of the received one or more TCP/IP packets assigned to the higher priority buffer over the received one or more TCP/IP packets assigned to the lower priority buffer wherein the at least one of configurable hardware logic configured to be capable of implementing or the processor coupled to the memory and configured to execute programmed instructions stored in the memory further comprising; reading source data associated with the received one or more TCP/IP packets, the source data comprising a network address of a computer sending the received one or more TCP/IP packets; determining whether the received TCP/IP packets with the determined presence of SYN parameter requesting the new connection with the server are associated with a network address of the computer previously requesting the new connection; assigning the received one or more TCP/IP packets with the determined presence of SYN parameter requesting the new connection from the lower priority buffer to a least priority buffer when the received one or more TCP/IP packets with the determined presence of SYN parameter are determined to be associated with the network address of the computer previously requesting the new connection; and prioritizing service of the received one or more TCP/IP packets with the determined presence of the SYN parameter assigned to the lower priority buffer over the received one or more TCP/IP packets with the determined presence of the SYN parameter assigned to the least priority buffer. - View Dependent Claims (12, 13, 14, 15)
