Interactive Informatics on Internet Infrastructure

— We present the design and evaluation of I4, a network infrastructure that enables information exchange and collaboration among different domains. I4 can help address problems, such as defending against the unwanted traffic as well as diagnosing the network. We present the Distributed Denialof-Service (DDoS) attack as an example to demonstrate the advantages of I4. Simulation results show that I4 can significantly reduce the amount of DDoS attack packets and dramatically improve the quality of services received by legitimate users. Our design provides attractive properties, such as incremental deployment as well as incentives for such deployment etc.
