Description: The development of protocols for DDoS (Distributed Denial of Service) protection refers to the creation of standards and procedures aimed at mitigating the impact of these attacks on networks and systems. A DDoS attack involves flooding a server, service, or network with malicious traffic, rendering it inaccessible to legitimate users. Protocols designed to counteract these attacks focus on identifying and filtering unwanted traffic, ensuring that legitimate requests can be processed. These protocols may include techniques such as rate limiting, where the number of requests a user can make in a given time frame is restricted, and the use of content delivery networks (CDNs) that disperse traffic across multiple servers. Additionally, intrusion detection systems are implemented to analyze traffic patterns in real-time to identify anomalous behaviors. The relevance of these protocols lies in the increasing dependence of businesses and organizations on online services, where a DDoS attack can result in significant economic losses and damage to reputation. Therefore, the development of protection protocols is essential to ensure service continuity and user trust in the digital environment.
