This mitigation approach uses an Anycast network to scatter the attack traffic across a network of distributed servers to the point where the traffic is absorbed by the network. Like channeling a rushing river down separate smaller channels, this approach spreads the impact of the distributed attack...
User Datagram Protocol (UDP) is a protocol used for communication throughout the internet. Learn how UDP works, the difference between UDP and TCP, and how it is used in DDoS attacks.
The LNS is at the other end of the L2TP tunnel and functions as the termination point for PPP sessions. It acts as a gateway between public and private networks and allows encrypted traffic to access network assets. How does L2TP work?
The primary objective of a TCP SYN Flood is resource exhaustion. As the server continues to allocate resources for these half-open connections, it becomes increasingly strained, eventually reaching a point where it cannot respond to legitimate traffic. This results in: Service Disruption:Legitimate us...

Point-to-point traffic management: Managing a network is vital however traffic is delivered, be it end to end, node to node, or point to point. The latter enables organizations to deliver customer packets in order from one point to the next over the internet without suffering any packet loss...
Azure Load Balancer operates at layer 4 of the Open Systems Interconnection (OSI) model. It's the single point of contact for clients. The service distributes inbound flows that arrive at the load balancer's frontend to backend pool instances. These flows are distributed according to configured...
Unchecked UDP floods can rapidly overwhelm systems, rendering them unavailable to legitimate users. The Check Point Quantum DDoS Protector is an advanced security solution designed to effectively combat UDP flood attacks. Leveraging AI-enhanced detection and mitigation capabilities, it can rapidly i...
A DDoS attack degrades infrastructure by flooding the target resource with traffic, overloading it to the point of inoperability, or by sending a specifically crafted message that impairs application performance. DDoS attacks can target network infrastructure such as firewall state tables, as well as...
However, it is difficult and expensive to implement because the number of connections grows exponentially with the number of nodes. Star Topology In a star network topology, all nodes are connected to a central device called a hub through a point-to-point link. The hub acts as a central ...
