Such networks are referred overlay structure when the monitored performance becomes inad- to as unstructured overlay networks to differentiate them from equate. This adaptation results in an unstructured overlay where structured overlay networks [1], where the overlay topology no neighbor selection constraints are imposed. Although such networks provide resilience to benign failures, they are susceptible offers pre-defined bounds and organizational invariants by to attacks conducted by adversaries that compromise overlay constraining the set of nodes eligible to become neighbors of nodes. Previous defense solutions proposed to address attacks a given node. Examples of multicast systems using structured against overlay networks rely on strong organizational constraints overlay networks include Scribe [2] and SplitStream [3]; exam- and are not effective for unstructured overlays. In this work, we ples of multicast systems using unstructured overlays include identify, demonstrate and mitigate insider attacks against mea- ESM [4], Nice [5], and Overcast [6]. surement-based adaptation mechanism
