The intent behind vulnerability scans is good, however the majority of DOS attacks that my networks encounter these days are from cybersecurity organizations conducting cybersecurity research.

Funding requests for DOS mitigation solutions to protect my networks from cybersecurity researchers are not taken seriously.

I treat these folk with the same respect they afford me. Not once in
30 years of having a connected network (v4 or v6) has any entity asked
"is it OK if we .. ?".

how strange, considering you are replying to a thread doing so.

fwiw, i appreciate vuln scanners. i do not have the hubris or tools to
think i run a flawless network or servers.
