Detailed explanation-1: -Reroute traffic through firewalls or add device firewalls to block attacks.

Detailed explanation-2: -A Brief History of DDoS Attacks The first known distributed denial of service attack occurred in 1996 when Panix, now one of the oldest internet service providers, was knocked offline for several days by a SYN flood, a technique that has become a classic DDoS attack.
Detailed explanation-3: -There are two primary means of detecting DDoS attacks: in-line examination of all packets and out-of-band detection via traffic flow record analysis. Either approach can be deployed on-premises or via cloud services.
