The NUTSS architecture can be used to protect the bottleneck link for private services whose authentication can be replicated, provided that a NAT can be installed at the upstream end of this link. This paper analyzes the proposed defense and argues that it has a low run-time cost and offers substantial security benefits.353578 bytesapplication/pdfen-UScomputer sciencetechnical reportWalnut: using NUTSS to harden services against DDOS attackstechnical report
