3.5.3 DoS (Denial-of-Service)

Denial of Service (DoS) is a common attack measure, by transmitting a great amount of data or
request to your Internet IP address and server, the Internet connection will become very slow,
and server may stop responding because it is not capable to handle too much traffics.

This router has a built-in DoS attack prevention mechanism; when you activate it, the router will
stop the DoS attack for you.


Parameter

Description

activated. Please check the box of Ping of Death, and input the
frequency of threshold (how many packets per second, minute,
or hour), you can also input the “Burst” value, which means when
this number of “Ping of Death” packet is received in very short
time, this DoS prevention mechanism will be activated.

address of the router.
