+A "denial-of-service" attack is characterized by an explicit attempt by attackers to prevent legitimate users of a service from using that service. Examples include 
+** attempts to "flood" a network, thereby preventing legitimate network traffic 
+** attempts to disrupt connections between two machines, thereby preventing access to a service 
+** attempts to prevent a particular individual from accessing a service 
+** attempts to disrupt service to a specific system or person 
+Not all service outages, even those that result from malicious activity, are necessarily denial-of-service attacks. Other types of attack may include a denial of service as a component, but the denial of service may be part of a larger attack. 
+Thanks to CERT.
