S/RTBH can deal with any type of packet-flooding DDoS at layer-3, up to the capacity of the platform in question. It sounds as if a) you should investigate getting DDoS mitigation assistance from your upstreams and/or b) moving from your currently software-based platform to a hardware-based platform at your edge to provide increased performance (this holds true irrespective of which vendor you select for your edge platform). If you move to a hardware-based edge platform, be sure to first investigate all the particulars of its uRPF implementation so as to ensure that you can use it for S/RTBH, and if at all possible, test it before buying. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Roland Dobbins <[email protected]> // +852.9133.2844 mobile History is a great teacher, but it also lies with impunity. -- John Robb
