This brings up an interesting question -- what is "good DDoS protection" on an ISP scale? Apart from having enough bandwidth to weather the attack and having upstream providers attempt to filter it for you/
Hi Shawn, I believe the normal mechanism is that you use BGP to sink the impacted /24s at many high-bandwidth exchange points worldwide, filter, and pass the traffic which the filter accepts back to your core infrastructure via a tunnel (VPN). Build or buy. If it's practical to sink the bandwidth near the DDOS target, I wouldn't think it was much of a DDOS. A question which interests me: How many attacks do folks find landing in the middle-ground between "annoying but readily handled" and "far beyond my ability?"
