Distributed Denial-of-Service (DDoS) attacks are serious threats in the data center application, mainly affecting the web server. Even though there are various techniques to detect and mitigate such attacks so far they fail to meet in the case of application layer attack and Flash Events (FE). In the paper, we aim at detecting application layer DDoS attacks and distinguish it from FE. We have cons...
