What are effects Of Denial-of-service?

Answer:

Denial of service is an attack against a server which sends ping requests to a server which ask it for information and then the server replies and if the packets of information are large enough and the firewall does not block them then legitimate requests won't get through. None of the effects are permanent, however they can be very inconvenient.
