- DDoS Detection
Dhruba Kumar Bhattacharyya · 2016
Today, the world is being computerized and Internetized at an astonishing speed. To support this phenomenal growth, service providers are trying their best to provide the utmost quality of service. In this competitive environment, an aspect that stands out is security, which is indeed an extremely serious topic of concern. As we have discussed in the previous chapters, an intrusion or attack may be fast or slow. We refer to a DDoS attack as fast when it generates a large number of packets or extremely high-volume traffic within a very short time, say a fraction of a minute, to disrupt service. An attack is referred to as a slow attack, if it takes minutes or hours to complete the process.
