DDoS attacks in one day

Attacks monitored by Prolexic sizes in Mid 2007 were averaging 2 to 5 gigabits per second. Today’s DDoS attacks are more aggressive, often starting at 20 gigabits per second and growing as high as 80 gigabits. These types of attacks have devastating effects on organizations of all sizes including the most established corporations, and can only be fought on a global scale.

2. How it Works IN THE CLOUD SERVICE As an in-the-cloud service, there is no equipment to buy or staff to train. Prolexic is completely carrier-neutral, and can protect all your carriers and global applications with a unified best-of-breed solution. DNS REDIRECTION - PROTECT KEY SERVERS AND APPLICATIONS This is the quickest way to deploy Prolexic’s solution. With DNS Redirection Prolexic will assign your servers new IP addresses on Prolexic’s protected network. Through a DNS change initiated by the customer, all customer traffic is directed through Prolexic where it is cleansed. The clean traffic is then returned to the customer network. Prolexic will advise you on further methods to protect your back-end systems. BGP ROUTING / GRE TUNNELING - PROTECT APPLICATIONS AND NETWORKS This is the preferred method for enterprise-class DDoS protection. Prolexic will announce the customer’s subnet and tunnel traffic to its location via Generic Route Encapsulation (GRE) tunnels via the Internet and a variety of direct connections. GRE tunneling provides the customer with many advantages, including total control over when traffic is filtered. Traffic re-routes can be performed quickly using BGP, the standard routing protocol in use today to support complex routing policies.

When an attack begins, Prolexic re-routes internet traffic through an array of global scrubbing centers, returning clean traffic to the customer network. Once the attack stops original routes are restored.
