This research paper explains the techniques and trends of an attacker to execute distributed denial of service (DDoS) attack to any targeted system based on recent incidents on various ISPs. DDoS attacks are newly evolved attack which actually attacks on the availability of the services and resources of the targeted system. A normal DDoS can be executed from anywhere in the distributed network and chock the victims service or server by sending large number of packets. Few countermeasures have been given by many researchers in this field. There are various technical experts and researchers are still working on this issue which became a very big problem for every service provider organization but still we do not have such solution to overcome with this problem completely .In this research paper we have introduced the attackers trend to perform DDoS in these days which is reflection based DDoS attack and their proposed mechanisms or methods to overcome with this problem up to the acceptable table.
