Abstract (in Japanese) (See Japanese page) 
(in English) Distributed denial-of-service attacks on public servers have recently become more serious. The most effective way to prevent the attack traffic is to identify attacking nodes and detach (or block) attack nodes at egress routers of them. Existing traceback mechanism, however, are not widely used today because of e.g., replacements of many routers to support traceback capability, or difficulties to distinguish attack and legitimate traffic. In this paper, we propose a new scheme to enable a traceback from a victim to attack nodes. More specifically, we identify egress routers to which attack nodes are connecting by estimating traffic matrix between arbitral source-destination edge pairs. By monitoring traffic variations obtained by the traffic matrix, we identify the edge routers forwarding attack traffic which have a sharp traffic increase to the victim. We also evaluate the effectiveness of our proposed scheme through simulation, and show that our method can identify attack sources accurately.
