egal requirements to "the bottom line". If a site is paying you for transit, there's a very strong *dis*incentive to take any action that would prevent a DDoS attack - the bottom line says the Right Thing is to install just enough traffic shaping so a DDoS won't melt *your* net, and bill for the traffic. ;)
Not really true. I have to carry that traffic through my backbone and in doing, the DDOS traffic might take out or affect other services such as IP-VPNs (that would probably generate more money anyway). Best regards, - kurtis -
