Once that becomes congested, legitimate traffic is affected alongside the attack. That's why NL-ix developed inline DDoS protection that filters malicious traffic before it reaches your network. Together with RoyaleHosting, we evaluated this approach in a production environment, including the successful mitigation of a DDoS attack peaking at 741 Gbps. In this customer story, RoyaleHosting explains why it sees early-stage filtering as a valuable first layer in a layered DDoS protection strategy—and why stopping attacks upstream helps keep networks available.

By filtering malicious traffic before it reaches the network, congestion can be reduced while legitimate traffic continues to flow. Read the full article: nl-ix.net/articles-event…
