DDoS Attacks?

What is a distributed denial-of-service?

A site that is receiving many thousands of packets from each of many thousands of sources all at the same time.  The intention is to flood the server with SO  MUCH DATA that the server has no time for legitimate traffic.

This is performed by mental children.
