The Internet is a network of such significance that it is now the target of many attacks. Hackers have been first targeting users, but since few years they are now also attacking the network itself. This is why several kinds of attacks have already been studied, classified and resolved. However, this is not true for Denial of Service (DoS) attacks, for which little has been done, and the only countermeasures which have been presented, are only effective for a limited time. The MetroSec project then aims at studying these badly known DoS attacks against the network. For this purpose, MetroSec relies on the use of monitoring and measurement techniques to evaluate the impact of DoS attacks, and discover how they succeed to decrease network QoS.
