Hi, I actually saw this issue a few weeks back but with a customer's website. It's actually not a routing issue, but a DNS issue. If you check the IPs that Verizon resolves for you, they'll be different from the IPs that other resolvers will resolve. It's weird, I know, but that's all the

I'd beg to differ on this one. The average attacks we're seeing are double that, around the 30-40g mark. Since NTP and SSDP amplification began, we've been seeing all kinds of large attacks. Obviously, these can easily be blocked upstream to your network. Hibernia Networks blocks them for us.

You'd notice that most people don't really know how big the attack that they're sending is. I've done a lot of research into how these attacks actually work and most of them are done by kids who don't really know what they're doing. To them an attack is something that will take their target
