Most of these attacks are run from one master station that takes control of millions or many stations and use them as Zombies to launch the attack. This paper uses ideas from peer-reviewed articles to summarize aspects related to detection, prevention, and mitigation of DoS attacks.

I selected this research paper because it showed a significant research on the current issue of denial of service. The research paper also contains knowledge that captures researcher's...
