WHY CAN’T FIREWALL / IPS HANDLE DDoS ATTACKS?
As stateful devices, firewalls and IPS track all connections for inspection and store them in a
connection table. Every packet is matched against the connection table to verify that it was
transmitted over an established, legitimate connection. The typical connection table can store tens
of thousands of active connections, which is sufficient for normal network activity. However, a DDoS
attack may include millions of packets per second.
Firewalls and IPS only examine individual sessions. DDoS attacks such as HTTP floods, are
composed of millions of legitimate sessions. Each session on its own is legitimate and it cannot be
marked as a threat by firewalls and IPS.
