Extracting from Wikipedia...
(DDoS attack) distributed denial-of-service attack is an attempt to make a computer resource unavailable. One common method of attack involves saturating the target (victim) machine with external communications requests, such that it cannot respond to legitimate traffic, or responds so slowly as to be rendered effectively unavailable.
