Description: Network performance refers to the effectiveness and efficiency with which a computer network operates, including data transmission speed, latency, availability, and the ability to handle multiple simultaneous connections. A critical aspect of network performance is protection against DDoS (Distributed Denial of Service) attacks, which aim to saturate network resources with a massive flow of malicious traffic. These attacks can lead to a drastic decrease in service response speed, interruptions in availability, and, in extreme cases, total network failure. DDoS protection involves implementing various strategies and technologies that allow for the identification and mitigation of these attacks before they impact network performance. This includes the use of firewalls, intrusion detection systems, and specific mitigation solutions that can filter malicious traffic and ensure that legitimate users can access services without interruptions. In an increasingly interconnected world, where businesses rely on the constant availability of their online services, DDoS protection has become an essential priority for maintaining optimal network performance.
