Main portion of the recent DDoS attacks included a “legitimate” established connections (i.e., the source IP’s weren’t spoofed) and most of the HTTP requests that were genearted complied with the protocol and application rules. Thus, prevention the attack without blocking legitimate traffic at the same time becomes a great challenge.
