Re: Real-Time Mitigation of Denial of Service Attacks Now AvailableWith AT&T

We see approximately 60-70 spoofed DDOS attacks per day at our Network
Telescope:

The volume of backscatter we see on our "dark space" /16 is about
50kb/sec:

I have no way of proving it but I assume we see only 10% of the daily DDOS
attacks that take place on the Internet since as you state - most of the
attacks these days are from "100% valid and accurate source IP addresses".
