On the ‘web: A new way to deal with DDoS

Most large scale providers manage Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) attacks by spreading the attack over as many servers as possible, and simply “eating” the traffic. This traffic spreading routine is normally accomplished using Border Gateway Protocol (BGP) communities and selective advertisement of reachable destinations, combined with the use of anycast to regionalize and manage load sharing on inbound network paths. But what about the smaller operator, who may only have two or three entry points, and does not have a large number of servers, or a large aggregate edge bandwidth, to react to DDoS attacks?

I write for ECI about once a month; this month I explain DOTS over there. What to know what DOTS is? Then you need to click on the link above and read the story. 🙂
