DOS Attack on the Availability of Cloud Network and its Avoidance Mechanism

Data centers are usually under provisioned. This is not a problem in corporate data networks, but it can be a problem in cloud data networks. If an application is being served by that cloud infrastructure, the application owner must know the infrastructure limitations and should take some special measures to ensure QoS/availability of that application and to prevent against possible threats. In this paper we have discussed a new form of DoS that could take place in a cloud data network using the vulnerability caused by under provisioned network. We have also proposed a solution for this DoS attack, by which not only this attack will be detected, but can also be avoided in a very short time.
