Fundamental limits for
optimal reactive defense
Every host participates in the blocking strategy.
This is the best-case scenario; lower bound on reality
Success metric is % of hosts infected at 24 hours.
Simulations based on 360,000 victims.
worm rate (probes/sec) and reaction time parameters
100 runs of each scenario
Note: The success metric for other numbers of
victims can be found by scaling the rate. (e.g., for 3.6M
victims, multiply rate by 10).
