Application: Control method and apparatus, computing device, and computer-readable storage medium (Patent ID: US20240179178A1)
The patent filed by Alibaba Group Holding Ltd. describes a control method and apparatus for identifying and limiting access traffic that exceeds a speed limit condition. By parsing access packets and determining the source virtual machine responsible for the excessive traffic, back pressure information is sent to instruct the source virtual machine to implement packet speed limit processing. This solution allows for the identification of potential attackers and the implementation of measures to limit their traffic, enhancing network security.
The method involves aggregating access messages to determine the source virtual machine to be limited in rate, based on inner-layer encapsulation information. By selecting message flows with a high number of messages for rate limiting, the system can effectively identify and address potential threats. Additionally, the patent outlines the process of generating back pressure information, receiving response information, and outputting alarm prompt information based on the results of the rate limit processing. This comprehensive approach to controlling access traffic ensures efficient network management and security measures to protect against potential attacks.
