Abstract

Due to the sophisticated characteristics of auto-regressive (AR)
modeling approach, it finds applications in most anomaly detection
processes. This paper extends the concept of AR modeling to
create models for the estimated auto-correlation between data and
control planes packet counts of the network traffic. These models
are fed with the anomaly traffic containing SYN flood attack. The
estimated residuals in these scenarios are used as indicators for
the attacks. Simulation results revealed the success of attack
detection using the proposed approach.
