5G networks are being evermore utilized as time goes on, with the high speed and low latency they bring allowing users to connect with each other faster than they’ve ever been able to before. Though this increasing popularity brings more threats to 5G networks, such as DDoS attacks which can impede a user’s ability to properly utilize the network. The aim of this project is to simulate a 5G network and a DDoS attack on that network while varying the number of attackers to observe how it affects network performance.
