FWIW, we (Nordunet/Sunet) today saw one of the larger dDoS attacks we've
seen so far in our end of the net, totaling around 2MPPS toward a single
host. It was coordinated, wery well-spread (came in through both transit
providers at equal balance, and almost as much over the REN connection
towards the rest of Europe and some spillage over private peers.) and
persistent. We've had to deploy several layers of null0 routes to fight it,
(our transit providers have been very helpful, btw.) but service to
anything except the attacked host has not been affected much. =20
Them tax-financed OC192's come in handy at times ;-)=20
