In this paper, we propose an approach called DDoS Layered Model Stacking (DDoS LMS) to improve DDoS detection accuracy. Our model uses advanced ensemble machinelearning techniques to enhance the robustness and reliability of detection systems. We evaluate our model using a dataset of network traffic, including both legitimate and attack traffic. Multiple machine learning models are employed, such as Logistic Regression, k-nearest Neighbors (k-NN), Support Vector Machine (SVM), Multi-Layer Perceptron (MLP), and Naive Bayes. Our proposed model, which combines the strengths of these individual classifiers, achieves exceptional results with 0.9872 accuracy, 0.9829 precision, 0.9847 recall, and 0.9837 F1 score. The DDoS LMS notably outperforms individual models and provesits efficiency in detecting DDoS attacks.  \nIndex Terms—DDoS, Layered Model Stacking, Ensemble Machine Learning Techniques  \nI. INTRODUCTION  \nDistributed Denial of Service (DDoS) attacks are a primary concern in Internet security [1] . The DDoS attack is a spiteful attempt to interfere with the normal operation of targeted appliances such as servers, services, and networks by overwhelming it with a flood of internet traffic. DDoS attacks have common types consisting of application layer attacks, protocol attacks, and volume-based attacks each affecting distinct aspects of a network or service [2] . These attacks aim to disrupt the normal functioning of targeted systems by inundating them with an overwhelming volume of malicious traffic, rendering them inaccessible to legitimate users. This includes reputation damage and creating a negative user experience. Additionally, there is a major economic loss when businesses experience downtime on their online services or websites. Consequently,  \nDDoS poses a threat to business and critical infrastructure. The most obvious indicator, when a DDoS attack hits, is a service becoming completely unavailable or a site running exceptionally slow.  \nA network connection on the Internet is composed of various components or layers, each serving a distinct purpose. Further, machine learning has an important role in enhancing cybersecurity measures; this paper presents an approach named Layered Model Stacking (DDoS LMS) to improve DDoS detection accuracy and boost the reliability of DDoS detection systems. The DDoS LMS aims to promote the robustness of existing detection mechanisms and hence reinforce network defence against cyber threats. In this context, ensemble machine learning techniques combine multiple learning models to enhance prediction performance, often achieving better results than individual models [3] . By applying ensemble techniques, different classifier architectures are used, such as Logistic Regression, SVM, k-NN, Nave Bayes, and MLP.
