In this work we investigate the im-
pact of DDoS attacks on anycast services and the possibilities of anycast recon-
�guration as a possible mitigation against the e�ects of a DDoS attacks. To
analyse the e�ects of a DDoS attack on anycast services we combined DDoS
attack data and an anycast testbed developed for research purposes. We used
DDoS attack data from captured real DDoS attacks [2] and simulated DDoS
attacks based on captured botnet tra�c. The anycast testbed consists of 9
sites spread around the world and is capable of measuring which IPs reach each
instance using active measurements. DDoS attack defense and mitigation is a
popular and broad subject and active research domain. One mitigation method
used to alleviate the e�ects of a DDoS attack is (anycast) network recon�g-
uration. Anycast services are generally con�gured to spread the tra�c load
across sites according to site capacity. But anycast services can be recon�gured
to spread the load of DDoS tra�c in various other ways. The anycast service
could for instance be con�gured to redirect all (DDoS) tra�c to one site with
scrubbing devices installed. We recon�gured the anycast testbed using a method
called AS-path prepending and measured the impact of several of these mitiga-
tion strategies. Several other anycast con�guration and manipulation methods
exist, such as BGP communities, but we decided to choose AS-path prepending
only to be able to evuluate this method more thoroughly and prevent attribu-
tion problems when two methods are used at the same time.
