DDoS Protection
Detect and absorb volumetric attacks before they saturate your links.
Network-level DDoS detection and mitigation for networks connected to Peer1IX, with blackholing, flowspec and scrubbing options.
What you get
Flow-based monitoring of traffic anomalies.
Drop attack traffic to a specific address at the edge.
Filter attack patterns precisely.
Divert and clean traffic for protected prefixes.
Notifications when attacks start and stop.
Understand what happened and tune protection.
Stop attacks at the edge
Volumetric DDoS attacks are most effectively stopped close to where they enter the network. Peer1IX DDoS Protection combines detection with blackholing, flowspec and scrubbing at the edge of our fabric.
Typical uses
- ISPs protecting subscribers
- Gaming platforms
- BFSI and payment services
- Government and public services
Questions we hear often
Does blackholing drop legitimate traffic?
Remote-triggered blackholing drops all traffic to the targeted address; it is used to protect the rest of the network. Scrubbing keeps legitimate traffic flowing.
