Light-Weight End-to-End QoS as DoS Prevention

Despite decades of QoS research and many years of DoS defence work, neither group of proponents have been able to get their results included into mainstream Internet service. It seems that demand for either solution exists, but individually, they seem to be just below the cost/ benefit threshold. This paper proposes a first step into a common solution, where combined and extended interests will hopefully allow authors to surpass this threshold. While there are still some open issues, authors hope to not only propose a basic working mechanism but also provide fresh ideas to start thinking off the beaten path.
