Denial of Service Protection
A denial-of-service attack (DoS attack) is an attempt to block the services
provided by a computer or network resource. This kind of attack tries to
prevent an Internet site or service from functioning efficiently or at all. In
general, DoS attacks are implemented by either forcing the target to reset, to
consume most of its resources so that it can no longer provide its intended
service, or to obstruct the communication media between the intended users
and the target so that they can no longer communicate adequately.
This section describes commands used to protect against DoS attacks.
