Actually there are providers which will sell you a port ACL as part of their DDoS mitigation service. These ACLs can block almost all of the BS volumetric attacks which will cripple you. Everything gets blocked on the provider side. NTT's pricing is especially reasonable. TWTC has a similar service.



Yes. But once again, that is someone with a large enough pipe.

People sell DDoS mitigation but that isn't anything close to a business being able to mitigate things and caring about best practices.


A 1gig circuit is a large pipe?

Also, what are you talking about? Are you claiming that NTT nor TWTC can mitigate a DDoS attack? If so, you're massively wrong.

Both are in possession of large networks which allow them to mitigate DDoS attacks.

The small business with the 1gbps pipe isn't "mitigating" the attack. Their provider is mitigating the attack in return for payment.
