Explanation

The web application is unable to accept any more connections because of network socket exhaustion: A Denial of Service (DoS) attack often floods the web server with an overwhelming number of requests, leading to network socket exhaustion. This can prevent the server from accepting new legitimate connections, effectively disrupting service. The web application server is unable to accept new client sessions due to memory exhaustion: DoS attacks can consume a significant amount of server memory, causing memory exhaustion. This results in the web application being unable to accept new client sessions or handle requests
