said by james:said by cornelius785:i consider a DoS attack to be a DDoS attack when the packets come from computers that are distributed over a large area, not (from the sounds of it) a server farm.
You can't just make up definitions for commonly used terms and then expect everyone to go along with you.
The distributed refers to not being a single computer attack, physical location is irrelevant.
Whatever. I don't disagree with you, but whatever. We're arguing over semantics while agreeing on what happened.
