A10 is in pretty early stages right now on DDoS , this may be a good thing if you have time to wait and can help mold them a bit. They are still mostly enterprise focused , not really carrier grade . Radware is a little further along, but Arbor is king when it comes suitability for a carrier deployment. ________________________________ ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Message: 1 Date: Fri, 27 Sep 2013 11:05:36 +0200 From: Fabien Delmotte <fdelmotte1@mac.com> To: Tempest <tempestterror@gmail.com> Cc: nanog@nanog.org Subject: Re: Radware vs Arbor Message-ID: <6DE5C148-F65B-4894-A13E-80E13A93AFA3@mac.com> Content-Type: text/plain; charset=iso-8859-1 Hi, Maybe you can see what A10 Networks is doing. They build a new product dedicated to DDOS. Regards Fabien Le 26 sept. 2013 ? 18:47, Tempest <tempestterror@gmail.com> a ?crit :

Doing a bunch of research, and I can't find a meaningful comparison of these two products.  Work for a carrier, and I am looking at implementing a DDoS mitigation service that we can sell to our customers.  Radware is cheaper, but I am seeing a lot of noise in various forums that makes me question their viability for what we need.  Arbor has most of the market, and I assume there is good reason for it.  Both companies seem to be very deceptive about how they compare to the other.  Anyone out there with good hands on experience that can compare?  Not interested in input from either company, we get plenty of that already.  Good experience, or links to good write ups would be excellent...
