Abstract(in English) Recently, DNS amplification attacks to a targeted server is occurring frequently. Those attacks also cause congestion of the targeted network that accommodate the targeted server. To solve this problem, we have proposed a virtual firewall scheme. In this scheme, firewall functions are distributively located at the border routers of provider networks. Those functions are required to achieve dynamic packet filtering by way of their cooperation. To meet this requirement, we propose a scheme to implement this cooperate function using OpenFlow technology. In this implementation, a single OpenFlow controller accommodates multiple OpenFlow switches. The switch operates as a firewall function. The controller notifies all switches of the same filtering status information. This approach achieves distributive dynamic packet filtering. According to our prototype implementation, we confirmed that the DNS response packet passed through the firewall function appropriately even when DNS request packet and its response packet transferred via different firewall functions.
