Broadband Internet Technical Advisory Group – SNMP Reflected Amplification DDoS Attack Mitigation

by on

Broadband Internet Technical Advisory Group, Technical work Group Report, August 2012

  • “A BITAG member and Internet Service Provider (ISP), Comcast, has
    observed large-­scale Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) Reflected Amplification Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) attacks. These attacks are significant and have been observed to result in tens of gigabits to over one hundred gigabits per second of SNMP traffic sent to attack targets from multiple broadband networks. These attacks have been hours long in duration, disruptive for attack targets, and very challenging for targets to mitigate. The conditions that make this attack possible exist on many types networks,
    regardless of access network technology (DOCSIS, DSL, fiber, etc.), and regardless of geographic location.”
