Forgive me for being cynical, but couldn't this just AT&T putting an IDS
in their POP (or virtually, in their POP) in front of the Customer
connections? We are all talking about huge, all encompassing solutions
to DDOS that we'd like to see... But what are the chances of that?
And is AT&T going to ignore customers that aren't subscribers of AT&T
Protect -- even though their network "is monitoring & filtering
malicious" traffic at its edges?
