DASH Framework Using Machine Learning Techniques and Security Controls

Algorithm 2

Light WAF methodology.

 Input: HTTP request “r”

 Output: HTTP response

1  Start

2  while WAF is “ON”

3   HTTP request “r" received

4   If “buffer_level” exists in the payload.

5    if “buffer_level” parameter value is an integer

6     if security headers exist

7      if IP is not on the blacklist

8       Pass request to streaming service

9      else

10       drop request and block the IP

11      endif

12     else

13      drop request and block the IP

14     endif

15    else

16     drop request and block the IP

17    endif

18   else

19    drop request and block the IP
