Dear colleagues, Please find this new article on RIPE Labs, contributed by Santiago Ruano Rincon, one of the RACI fellows from RIPE 74: A Software-based Approach to Identify Heavy Hitters in DNS Traffic This article presents a software-based prototype able to estimate the most queried domain names in a stream of DNS traffic at 12Mpps (wire-rate 10GbE). The goal is to identify domains involved in random qname attacks. This prototype is a proof-of-concept of our research on software and commodity-hardware approaches to analyse high-speed network streams. https://labs.ripe.net/Members/santiago_r_r_/a-software-based-approach-to-ide... Kind regards, Mirjam Kuhne RIPE NCC
