Abstract(in English) Recently, DDoS attacks that disturb service offering in the Internet have occurred frequently. In order to mitigate such attack traffic between provider networks, deploying firewall functions is effective. They are attached to the border routers of a provider network. This firewall is required to support legitimate DNS accesses. Then, when it forwards a DNS request packet toward an outer provider, it allows incoming of the corresponded DNS reply packet. In such an access between providers, the ingress provider may be different from the egress provider. Consequently, distributed firewalls need to be acted virtually as a single firewall. Toward achieving such a firewall, some schemes have been proposed. However, their typical advantages are not clear. Thus we evaluated and compared virtual firewall schemes. The results are as follows. (1) Regarding allocation of filtering functions, a distributed scheme is tough against heavy attacks, while a centralized scheme is economical for implementation. (2) Concerning exchanging control messages for achieving the distribution, a client/server scheme is scalable for increasing filtering functions, while a peer scheme is reliable against fault.
