Gregory's Server@neauoire I also experienced a hosting provider null routing a service (without telling me) in similar circumstances. My response was to move to a new provider... A truely competent provider should be able to cap bandwidth in such a way that other services aren't affected by the DDOS I should hope...

@timthelion @neauoire How? The only mitigation for a layer 3 DDoS commonly on the market is "I have so many resources you can't saturate them," which is why it's so expensive. |
@timthelion @neauoire I think they are reaching for simple solutions unless you pay and I'm guessing that would be very expensive. What I'm confused about is why so few people are building their systems distributed, specially if they are based off git (probably mercurial is to blame)?! Then you can have (code size allowing) hundreds of small servers everywhere. The only mitigation for DDoS is distributed hosting? Decentralized would be the dream.
