1 edit | Might sound good in theory. Great idea in theory probably. Essentially taking the fast-flux DNS method used by miscreants and using it to take on DDOS by way of volume. This is probably the gist of Akamai service.
Here's where I think the wagon leaves the road. With a commercial service like Akamai, you have an SLA that says they'll serve exactly the content you've decided. With the ad-hoc militia-man method, while good in intent, doesn't do anything to protect from rogue nodes directing hosts as they see fit to whatever content they choose. This is probably a major issue.
I didn't have time to do more than skim the last half of the paper, but I think the gist of it points to this weakness.
