DOS Attack

hi
Dos attack is Denial of service in which an intruder keep on sending request packets with fake source address to keep the network busy with unneccessary packets.
 

Re: DOS Attack

What kind of packets they are?
Are they normal packets or different packets. Is there any software to send such packets.
And how can this be stopped?

Regards.
