Beyond service unavailability, UDP DDoS attacks can degrade application performance for legitimate users. The server's resources are consumed processing malicious traffic, leaving fewer resources for legitimate requests. This can lead to increased latency, slow response times, and overall poor user experience, even if the service remains technically 'available'.
