Denial of Service (DoS) is an attempt by a hacker to flood an IP address,
domain, or server with repeated external communincation requests,
effectively saturating the system with an information flood that renders it
slow or effectively inoperable for genuine users to access it. DoS attacks
are also referred to as non-intrusion attacks, the goal of which is to cripple
your system but not steal data.
The DoS Settings on the router enable the user to block many of the
common DoS attacks a network might suffer.
