The present invention provides a system, method and apparatus for protecting against high volume attacks. The present invention receives a packet, determines a source of the received packet, and updates a tree-based data structure based on the source of the received packet. The received packet is accepted or passed on whenever one or more statistics stored within the tree-based data structure do not exceed a threshold. The received packet is dropped whenever the one or more statistics exceed the threshold. The present invention can be implemented in hardware, software or a combination thereof. The software will implement the steps as one or more code segments of a computer program embodied on a computer readable medium.
