This document summarizes research analyzing the impact of distributed denial of service (DDoS) attacks on file transfer protocol (FTP) services. The researchers created a test network topology in the DETER cybersecurity testbed to simulate FTP traffic between clients and a server. They launched various DDoS attack types against the FTP server to measure the impact on network performance metrics like throughput, link utilization, and packet survival ratio. The attacks were found to degrade these metrics and disrupt the FTP services. The study provides insights into how DDoS attacks negatively impact network services like FTP.
