Hi folks,
I have been doing some work with a small ISP customer around sourcing
off-net DDoS scrubbing to protect one of their downstream access
customers. I don't really have a feel for the ballpark pricing for this
kind of service though.
We've been quoted around £20/meg/month[1] of scrubbed clean traffic for
low hundreds of megabits/sec throughput. That's for a service that is
BGP signalled, ie: it wouldn't be used normally - only if a route was
announced / community set on a subnet etc.
To anyone who has this kind of service at these levels of throughput -
Is this "about right" or is it way out? I don't want people to break
pricing NDAs etc., just get a feel for what this costs in the
marketplace in general.
Thanks
Paul.
[1] - For the avoidance of doubt this is GBP 20 per megabit/second for a
commit of a few hundred megabits/second 95th percentile per month of
cleaned traffic coming across the connection between the upstream
scrubbing provider and the downstream ISP being protected. Ie: attack
size isn't an issue, its the actual throughput of clean traffic that
matters.
