"This paper proposes a taxonomy of distributed denial-of-service attacks and a taxonomy of the defense mechanisms that strive to counter these attacks. The attack taxonomy is illustrated using both known and potential attack mechanisms. Along with this classification we discuss important features of each attack category that in turn define the challenges involved in combating these threats." In PDF.
