Summary :

Probabilistic Packet Marking (PPM) is a scheme for IP traceback where each packet is marked randomly with an IP address of one router on the attack path in order for the victim to trace the source of attacks. In previous work, a network coding approach to PPM (PPM+NC) where each packet is marked with a random linear combination of router IP addresses was introduced to reduce number of packets required to infer the attack path. However, the previous work lacks a formal proof for benefit of network coding to PPM and its proposed scheme is restricted. In this paper, we propose a novel method to prove a strong theorem for benefit of network coding to PPM in the general case, which compares different perspectives (interests of collecting) at the collector in PPM+NC scheme. Then we propose Core PPM+NC schemes based on our core network coding approach to PPM. From experiments, we show that our Core PPM+NC schemes actually require less number of packets than previous schemes to infer the attack path. In addition, based on the relationship between Coupon Collector's Problem (CCP) and PPM, we prove that there exists numerous designs that CCP still benefits from network coding.
