ABSTRACT:
A Denial of Service (DoS) mitigation scheme increases the ability of a call processing server to fend off DoS attacks. The DoS mitigation scheme identifies a probability for dropping or denying a call request according to the current load on the call processing server. The probability is then weighted according to certain characteristics of the call request. For example, a call request from a previously authenticated source may be given a different weight than a request from an unauthenticated source. The weighted probability is then compared with a randomly generated number and the call request accepted or rejected according to the comparison.
