The detection of overuse flows has been a research problem studied for over 15 years, and it remains an important topic to this day due to the increasing importance of network performance for latency-sensitive applications, the impact of volumetric DDoS attacks, and the emergence of bandwidth allocation schemes. Although much progress has been achieved for designing efficient in-network detection of overuse flows, no system exists that can reliably detect overuse flows utilizing only 50% more than their permitted bandwidth. What further compounds the difficulty of the problem is the challenging environment of high-throughput packet processing on core Internet routers, which requires careful management of the limited amount of (expensive) fast memory and of computational resources. We design, analyze, implement, and evaluate CROFT, a new approach for efficiently detecting overuse flows that achieves dramatically better properties than prior work. CROFT is at least 300 times faster than prior approaches in detecting 1.5x-7x overuse flows: CROFT can detect 1.5x overuse flows in one second, whereas prior approaches fail to detect 7x overuse flows within a timeout of 300s.
