[MeiLing]that's really true, It is precisely because of the lack of uniform classification criteria that different classification names emerge. use mapping tables are temporary solutions, However, it is still necessary to unify the types of classified attacks. >References: >[1]: https://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-meiling-dots-attack-type-expansion-00 >[2]: https://datatracker.ietf.org/meeting/104/materials/slides-104-dots-attack-bandwidth-and-attack-type-expansion-01 -- Töma
