8.5 Denial of Service
Denial-of-Service Attack (DoS attack) is a type of attack on a network that is designed to bring the
network to its knees by flooding it with useless traffic.
A denial-of-service attack (DoS attack) is an attempt to make a computer resource unavailable to its
intended users. One common method of attack involves saturating the target machine with external
communications requests, such that it cannot respond to legitimate traffic, or responds so slowly as to be
rendered effectively unavailable. Such attacks usually lead to a server overload.
In general terms, DoS attacks are implemented by either forcing the targeted computer(s) to reset, or
consuming its resources so that it can no longer provide its intended service or obstructing the
communication media between the intended users and the victim so that they can no longer
communicate adequately.
Enable DoS Prevention to detect and prevent denial of service attacks through automatic rate filtering
or rules to protect legitimate users during the DoS attacks.

9.2. Glossary
Default Gateway (Router):
Every non-router IP device needs to configure a default gateway IP address.
When the device sends out an IP packet, if the destination is not on the same network,
the device has to send the packet to its default gateway, which will then send it to the
destination.
DHCP:
Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol. This protocol automatically gives an IP
address to every connected network device on your home network.
DNS Server IP Address:
DNS stands for Domain Name System, which allows Internet servers to have a
domain name (such as www.Broadbandrouter.com) and one or more IP addresses
(such as 192.34.45.8). A DNS server keeps a database of Internet servers and their
respective domain names and IP addresses, so that when a domain name is
requested (as in typing "Broadbandrouter.com" into your Internet browser), the user is
sent to the proper IP address. The DNS server IP address used by the computers on
your home network is the location of the DNS server your ISP has assigned to you.
DSL Modem:
DSL stands for Digital Subscriber Line. A DSL modem uses your existing phone
lines to transmit data at high speeds.
Ethernet:
A standard for computer networks. Ethernet networks are connected by special
cables and hubs, and move data around at up to 10/100 million bits per second
(Mbps).
94
DG-BR5411QAC User Manual
Idle Timeout:
Idle Timeout is designed so that after there is no traffic on the Internet for a
pre-configured amount of time, the connection will automatically get disconnected.
IP Address and Network (Subnet) Mask:
IP stands for Internet Protocol. An IP address consists of a series of four numbers
separated by periods, which identifies a single, unique Internet computer host in an IP
network. Example: 192.168.2.1. It consists of 2 portions: the IP network address, and
the host identifier. The IP address is a 32-bit binary pattern, which can be represented
as four cascaded decimal numbers separated by “.”: X.X.X.X, where each “X” can be
anything from 000 to 255.
A network mask is also a 32-bit binary pattern, and consists of consecutive
leading 1’s followed by consecutive trailing 0’s, such
11111111.11111111.11111111.00000000. Therefore sometimes a network mask can
also be described simply as “x” number of leading 1’s. When both are represented
side by side in their binary forms, all bits in the IP address that correspond to 1’s in the
network mask become part of the IP network address, and the remaining bits
correspond to the host ID.
For example, if the IP address for a device is, in its binary form,
11011001.10110000.10010000.00000111, and if its network mask is,
11111111.11111111.11110000.00000000 It means the device’s network address is
11011001.10110000.10010000.00000000, and its host ID is,
00000000.00000000.00000000.00000111. This is a convenient and efficient method
for routers to route IP packets to their destination.
95
DG-BR5411QAC User Manual
ISP Gateway Address:
(see ISP for definition). The ISP Gateway Address is an IP address for the
Internet router located at the ISP's office.
ISP:
Internet Service Provider. An ISP is a business that provides connectivity to the
Internet for individuals and other businesses or organizations.
LAN: Local Area Network. A LAN is a group of computers and devices connected
together in a relatively small area (such as home or office). Your home network is
considered a LAN.
MAC Address:
MAC stands for Media Access Control. A MAC address is the hardware address
of a device connected to a network. MAC address is a unique identifier for a device
with an Ethernet interface. It is comprised of two parts: 3 bytes of data that
correspond to the Manufacturer ID (unique for each manufacturer), plus 3 bytes that
are often used as the product’s serial number.
NAT: Network Address Translation. This process allows all the computers on your
home network to use one IP address. Using the broadband router’s NAT capability,
you can access Internet from any computer on your home network without having to
purchase more IP addresses from your ISP.
Port: Network Clients (LAN PC) uses port numbers to distinguish one network
application/protocol over another. Below is a list of common applications and
protocol/port numbers:
PPPoE:
(Point-to-Point Protocol over Ethernet.) Point-to-Point Protocol is a secure data
transmission method originally created for dial-up connections; PPPoE is for Ethernet
connections. PPPoE relies on two widely accepted standards, Ethernet and the
96
DG-BR5411QAC User Manual
Point-to-Point Protocol. It is a communications protocol for transmitting information
over Ethernet between different manufacturers.
Protocol:
A protocol is a set of rules for interaction agreed upon between multiple parties so
that when they interface with each other based on such a protocol, the interpretation
of their behavior is well defined and can be made objectively, without confusion or
misunderstanding.
Router:
A router is an intelligent network device that forwards packets between different
networks based on network layer address information such as IP addresses.
Subnet Mask:
A subnet mask, which may be a part of the TCP/IP information provided by your
ISP, is a set of four numbers (e.g. 255.255.255.0) configured like an IP address. It is
used to create IP address numbers used only within a particular network (as opposed
to valid IP address numbers recognized by the Internet, which must be assigned by
InterNIC).
TCP/IP, UDP:
Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) and Unreliable
Datagram Protocol (UDP). TCP/IP is the standard protocol for data transmission over
the Internet. Both TCP and UDP are transport layer protocols. TCP performs proper
error detection and error recovery, and thus is reliable. UDP on the other hand is not
reliable. They both run on top of the IP (Internet Protocol), a network layer protocol.
