Smurf security defense mechanism with split-protocol

Network intrusion has been a difficult problem to solve due to the rapid growth of the Internet in recent years. Securing computers from harmful attacks are becoming the unprecedented challenging issues for internet users. Every day the recognition of new attacks is becoming a harder problem to crack in the field of Computer Network Security. Currently, Denial of Service (DoS) attacks is affecting the large number of computers in the world on a daily basis. Detecting and preventing computers from DoS attacks is a major research topic for researchers throughout the world. The migratory nature and role changeover abilities of servers in Split-protocol avoid bottleneck on the server side. It also offers the unique ability to avoid server saturation and compromise from DoS attacks. The goal of this paper is to present the idea of Split-protocol as a protection technique against DoS attacks.
