Hi Joel,
Right now I have a look at Toplayer, they seem to have long experience in this area. I dont know what riverbed did to the mazu but now everything is linked to the traffic optimizer when you look for mazu on their page. http://www.riorey.com looks very interesting, as they focus on protection from DDOS attacks. thank you for your interesting contribution!
