Table 14 Scenario 1- gradual increase in malicious traffic.

From: A hybrid deep learning model for detection and mitigation of DDoS attacks in VANETs

Epoch

Detected Behavior

Chosen Mitigation Action

Rationale

Epoch 1

Slight anomaly in CAM message frequency

Flag and monitor

Insufficient confidence to act aggressively

Epoch 5

Increased anomaly score and packet drops

Throttle bandwidth

Bandwidth throttling avoids disruption while reducing possible abuse

Epoch 10

Confirmed malicious pattern

Block node + reroute packets

Full mitigation as confidence is high
