Detect DDOS if it is an attack

Depending on what type of traffic and also what type of attack it is you may need to reconfigure a number of system variables to prepare the system for extra load as it processes which connection is technically " fake ".
There are a number of tools -
Check to see if it is an attack - :: netstat -anp |grep 'tcp\|udp' | awk '{print $5}' | cut -d: -f1 | sort | uniq -c | sort -n
