Abstract
A computer storage array detects and counters denial of service (DoS) attacks. The computer storage array provides one or more remote initiators with access to one or more storage devices connected to the computer storage array. According to an example embodiment, the computer storage array includes: a computer processor configured to run an operating system for managing networking protocols; a networking device configured to monitor and route network traffic, at a packet level to, and from the storage devices; a baseboard management controller (BMC) configured to detect a DoS attack based on monitoring of statistics of the network traffic by the networking device; a PCIe switch connecting the BMC with each of the storage devices via a PCIe bus; and a computer motherboard to which the computer processor, networking device, BMC and PCIe switch are installed.
