Flood frames意思

"Flood frames" is a term used in computer networking, particularly in the context of network security and denial-of-service (DoS) attacks. A flood frame attack is a type of DoS attack where an attacker overwhelms a target by sending a large number of frames (packets) at a high rate, effectively flooding the network or the target device with more traffic than it can handle.

In a flood frame attack, the attacker sends a continuous stream of frames, often with the intention of consuming the bandwidth of the network or the resources of the targeted device, such as its CPU or memory. This can lead to the device becoming unresponsive or crashing, or it can disrupt the network services for all users connected to the affected network.

Flood frame attacks can be mitigated using various techniques, such as rate limiting, where the network or device restricts the number of incoming frames per second to a safe level, or by using intrusion detection and prevention systems (IDS/IPS) that can detect and block such attacks.
