The difference in this type of attack is that slave zombies are led by master zombies to send a stream of packets with the victim's IP address as the source IP address to other uninfected machines (known as reflectors), exhorting these machines to connect with the victim. Then the reflectors send the victim a greater volume of traffic, as a reply to its exhortation for the opening of a new connection, because they believe that the victim was the host that asked for it. Therefore, in DRDoS attacks, the attack is mounted by noncompromised machines, which mount the attack without being aware of the action.a DRDoS attack creates a greater volume of traffic because of its more distributed nature, as shown in the figure below.<img src="http://www.insecure.in/images/drdos.gif" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /></blockquote>
