If you are a smaller network, you need the filtering to be performed by your transit provider, as your uplink will otherwise be congested.
Actually, most DDoS attacks aren't link-flooding attacks - this hasn't been true for the last ~7 years or so.
I'm not saying it doesn't happen, because it does, and sometimes quite spectacularly - but in most cases, the attackers don't have to flood the link to achieve their desired goal.
