Detection mechanism is the first step to avoid the DDoS attack. Some of these mechanisms address a specific kind of DDoS attack such as attacks on Web servers or authentication servers. The defense system taxonomy is illustrated using only the currently known approaches. The goal of this paper is to impose the comprehensive survey of DDoS attacks, architecture of DDoS, detection mechanism of DDoS attack, detection classification, various detection approaches of DDoS and issues and challenges have been presented.
