The operating system must manage excess capacity, bandwidth, or other redundancy to limit the effects of information flooding types of Denial of Service attacks.

Finding ID	Version	Rule ID	IA Controls	Severity
V-33123	SRG-OS-000142-NA	SV-43521r1_rule		Medium

Description
In the case of Denial of Service attacks, care must be taken when designing the operating system so as to ensure the operating system makes the best use of system resources. Rationale for non-applicability: Resource constraints on mobile devices preclude implementation of this specific IA function. The applicability of this control may be reconsidered at a future date if subsequent generations of mobile devices are better able to support this control.
