There are quite a number of things one can do, depending upon
the type of the attack you are protecting against. To discuss them
all would take far too much space here. Fortunately, there are some
good papers available on the Internet which you can use for reference.
Four of these are:
Strategies to protect against distributed denial of service (DDoS) attacks
from Cisco, dated Feb. 17, 2000.
Tech tip on denial of service from CERT.
Securing against denial-of-service attacks by Licoln Stein.
Denial-of-service (DoS) FAQ from SecurityPortal.
