The researchers whose trusted networks rank it highest, strongest advocate first. Every researcher gets a different order.

Survey of network-based defense mechanisms countering the DoS and DDoS problems (2007, background): “In this case, the admission challenge takes the form of a computational puzzle, which is designed to be easy to set and verify, but hard to solve, for example, a constraint satisfaction problem [Kandula et al. 2005].”
An Advanced Hybrid Peer-to-Peer Botnet (2007, background): “As botnet-based attacks become popular and dangerous, security researchers have studied how to detect, monitor, and defend against them [3], [6], [1], [4], [7], [5].”
Peer-to-Peer Botnets: Overview and Case Study (2007, background): “Much of the research concludes that simple checks such as IP header, packet content, or packet arrival rates can distinguish between legitimate and malicious traffic [15].”
An Inside Look at Botnets (2007, background): “They also inform possibi lities for DDoS protection strategies such as [22].”
Securing Web Service by Automatic Robot Detection (2006, methodology): “, used CAPTCHA tests to defend DDoS attacks by compromised robots that mimic the behavior of flash crowds [2].”
A DoS-limiting network architecture (2005, background): “More sophisticated policies may be base d on HTTP cookies that identify returning customers, CAPTCHAs t hat distinguish zombies from real users [11], and so forth.”
