Denial-of-Service attacks take advantage of inherent weaknesses in the TCP/IP protocol in combination with poor implementations. Attacks which target these inherent weaknesses include SYN Flood and Smurf. Attacks which target erroneous implementations include those operating with erroneously fragmented packets (e.g. Teardrop) or with fake sender addresses (e.g. Land). Your device detects most of these attacks and reacts with appropriate countermeasures.
