Netiquette - Does It Pay To Be Selfish? A Study of Congestion Control Abuse and Countermeasures
In our project, we conducted research to find the maximum threshold of selfishness in a network that benefits the adversary without causing major disruptions to other users. We explored 3 different attack methods:
- Opening up multiple parallel TCP connections
- Aggressively sending packets
- Strategically abuse TCP ACK packets as a misbehaving receiver
The topic or theme of focus of our project is on netiquette, TCP congestion control, and selfish behavior via network abuse.
