Today's network attack varieties and intensities grow exponentially. Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) attacks in 2010 swallowed 100G bandwidths, experiencing a 1000% increase over 2005. The diversified network attacks based on application-layer protocols such as HTTP, HTTPS, SIP, and DNS have nearly go beyond of flow-based attack detection means. To handle these network attacks, carriers must provide immediate and effective solutions to two challenges: How to ensure a reliable network against mass attacks and application-layer attacks? How to minimize maintenance expenditure and improve the return on investment (ROI) of anti-ddos measures? Based on years' technical accumulation in security fields and the deep understanding of carriers' services, Huawei Symantec launches its anti-ddos Service Processing Unit (SPU). The anti- DDoS SPU supplies the multi-core and multi-threading hardware structure. Each board delivers both 10G and 20G processing capabilities, which enables flexible expansion and smooth upgrade through the subcard. Together with the distributed chassis of the Eudemon8000E series, the anti-ddos SPU offers 10G to 160G detecting and cleaning performance. 10G SPU 20G SPU SPU Features Industry's Highest Processing Performance High Performance 160G Anti-DDoS Capability Cutting-edge architecture: The detecting center and cleaning center use innovative network processor+multicore+distributed architecture to break through performance bottlenecks and allow linear expansion. Powerful processing capability: Huawei anti-ddos solution offers a processing capability of up to 160G to protect carriers against network attacks. Large capacity: Huawei anti-ddos solution can present 2000 Zones with refined protection for 10,000 IP addresses and common protection for 1 million IP addresses. High Detection Ratio DPI for Defeating DDoS Deep packet inspection (DPI): To accurately detect and identify DDoS traffic, Huawei anti-ddos solution introduces a "seven-layer purification" framework, which effectively identifies and protects against a comprehensive spectrum of modern security threats including scanning and sniffing, malformed packet attacks, as well as attacks at traffic and application-layer levels. Wide-ranging IPv6 defense: Huawei anti-ddos solution provides all IPv4 defense for IPv6, and supports IPv4 and IPv6 together to enable secure and low-cost transition from IPv4 to IPv6.

Comparatively, Huawei anti-ddos solution employs the DPI technology to capture attack features in real time, detecting attack traffic within seconds. Second latency: The detecting center and cleaning center synchronize session status with results. The synchronization maintains service continuity while ensuring a rapid response (with 10 seconds) to attacks. Robust Reliability: 99.9999% Reliable platform: Huawei anti-ddos solution is equipped with redundant power supplies and fans, as well as 1+1 MPUs and 3+1 SFUs. The parts redundancy ensures a core routerlevel reliability. In addition, the industry-leading VRP of this solution has 4 million live-network success cases, further improving platform reliability. System reliability: Huawei anti-ddos solution delivers a mean time between failures (MTBF) of 500 thousand hours and a system reliability of 99.9999% by leveraging load balanced SPUs and links as well as dual-system hot backup networking. Flexible Expansion Smooth Upgrade and Linear Expansion for Maximized ROI Smooth upgrade: The anti-ddos SPU provides smooth upgrade. The 10G SPU and service subcard are scalable up to the 20G SPU. Linear expansion: The Eudemon8000E comes with a maximum of eight SPUs, with performance smoothly upgradeable from 10G to 160G. With linear performance, users can select service modules if desired at the initial phase of the project. For further capacity expansion, they only need to add required SPUs, effectively maximizing ROI. Minimum investment: The anti-ddos detecting and cleaning SPUs can be inserted on the same chassis.
Application Scenarios Security Defense at the MAN Egress Customer challenges Mass attack traffic swarms from the backbone network into the metropolitan area network (MAN), causing link congestion on the MAN. Consequently, carriers have to invest much in bandwidth expansion and user experience may deteriorate. Application-layer attack traffic causes target servers to deny services. As a result, users complain a lot and some may quit subscription, and carriers suffer huge economic loss.
