Usage in scientific papers

Proof: We prove that, for each feasible solution to BLOCK-ALL S , there exists another feasible solution S ′ that (i) can be represented as a pruned subtree of LCP-tree(BL) as described in the proposition and (ii) whose collateral damage is smaller or equal to S ’s.

Clearly, each of these operations transforms feasible solution S , which is assumed not to be on LCP-tree(BL), into another feasible solution S ′ with smaller or equal collateral damage but on the LCP-Tree(BL).
Optimal Source-Based Filtering of Malicious Traffic

We can repeat this process for all pre fixes that are in S ’s tree but not in LCP-tree(BL), until we create a feasible solution S ′ that includes only pre fixes from LCP-tree(BL) and has smaller or equal collateral damage.
Optimal Source-Based Filtering of Malicious Traffic

Second, in a bottom-up fashion, we compute zp (F ) ∀p, F , i.e., , the minimum collateral damage needed to block all bad addresses in the subtree of pre fix p using at most F filters.
Optimal Source-Based Filtering of Malicious Traffic

Following a dynamic programming (DP) approach, we can find the optimal allocation of filters in the subtree rooted at pre fix p, by finding a value n and assigning F − n filters to the left subtree and n to the right subtree, so as to minimize collateral damage.
