How can a website distinguish between lack of capacity and a denial-of-service attack? For example, websites often experience a tremendous increase in volume of traffic right after an advertisement with the site's URL is shown on television during the broadcast of a popular sporting event. That spike in usage is the result of normal access that happens to occur at the same time. How can a site

determine that high traffic is reasonable?

What will be an ideal response?


A
key
factor
is
what
the
traffic
does:
do
people
access
the
site,
browse
the
content,
and
perhaps
engage
in
a
transaction,
or
are
the
requests
one-­?shot
transmissions:
ping
or
session
setup
messages?
Unfortunately,
a
front-­?end
router
cannot
easily
distinguish
session
setup
messages
from
legitimate
users
versus
those
from
attackers,
because
good
and
bad
sessions
both
begin
with
a
setup.
Over
time,
a
site
can
see
an
abnormally
high
number
of
incomplete
sessions
or
other
single
event.
