Traffic Flood Hear it!

Traffic Flood Hacker Definition
An attempt to “flood” a network. Typically, this is done sending large numbers of bogus data packets, thereby stopping legitimate network traffic. Traffic floods, a very common form of cyber attack, are often carried out by disrupting network connectivity by using multiple hosts in a Distributed Denial of Service Attack, or DDoS.
