Hi Stephen, That was my take on it as well. In that case these appliances will only hold up as long as your transit links aren't saturated, so really they are for protecting your routing equipment rather than the links themselves.
How, technically speaking, do the "DDoS cleaning" providers work who handle your traffic for you?

The only solution is to have suppliers who agree to be proactive in filtering traffic at their borders should you find yourself under attack. Alternatively outsourcing content to CDNs or anti-DDoS specialists is an option if you are a high profile target. I am highly skeptical of vendors who claim to be able to do this, it can clearly only work on a small scale.

Has anybody had any experience with these or similar, and also any ideas on competitor costs? Simon
