IP transit latency: how routing, PoPs and DDoS protection affect performance
IP transit latency is not only a matter of distance. BGP decisions, PoP location, return path, tunnels and mitigation design all influence how users experience a protected service.
Peering vs transit for DDoS protection: what changes during an attack?
Peering and IP transit do not behave the same way under DDoS pressure. This guide explains the routing, capacity, economic and operational differences for protected networks.
Multi-upstream DDoS protection: why one transit provider is rarely enough
A multi-upstream DDoS design combines several transit providers, routing policies and mitigation layers to reduce single points of failure. This guide explains what it solves and what it does not solve by itself.
Upstream filtering DDoS: stopping attack traffic before it saturates your infrastructure
Upstream DDoS filtering protects a service before the attack reaches the customer port, firewall or server. This guide explains when it is useful, how it differs from blackholing and how to combine it with clean traffic delivery.
Anycast DDoS protection: when it helps, when it does not
Anycast distributes traffic toward several points of presence, but it is not a magic shield. The clean delivery model after mitigation still decides latency, stability and customer experience.
How BGP works: prefixes, AS paths, routing decisions and DDoS impact
BGP is the protocol that lets networks announce reachability to each other. Understanding prefixes, AS paths, communities and route preference is essential before buying protected transit.
BGP Blackhole vs BGP FlowSpec: choosing the right DDoS filtering tool
Blackholing saves capacity by sacrificing a destination. FlowSpec can remove attack traffic more precisely, but only when rules are short, measurable and reversible.
Route hijacking and DDoS: how BGP incidents can turn into outages
A route hijack can divert, intercept or blackhole traffic before packets reach your infrastructure. DDoS planning must include routing security, monitoring and fast withdrawal procedures.
FlowSpec packet length: scope, units and safe validation
Use IPv4 packet length as one narrowly scoped FlowSpec condition, with correct byte accounting, fragment checks, enforcement evidence and a withdrawal plan.
BGP FlowSpec TCP flags: using SYN, ACK and RST matches without breaking real traffic
TCP flags can make FlowSpec rules precise against SYN, ACK or RST floods, but they become risky when they ignore connection state, asymmetric routing and legitimate protocol behavior.
BGP FlowSpec limitations: what it can filter and where it becomes dangerous
BGP FlowSpec is powerful for upstream relief, but it is not a full mitigation engine. Its limits appear around state, context, provider support, rule scope and false-positive risk.
Protected IP transit benefits for operators, hosters and exposed services
Protected IP transit combines Internet connectivity and Anti-DDoS mitigation in the same delivery model. The benefit is not only attack absorption, but clearer routing, cleaner handoff and fewer emergency migrations.
How to handle 100Mpps+ DDoS traffic without exhausting your infrastructure
Handling 100Mpps+ requires an architecture designed for packet rate, not only for Gbps: early detection, upstream relief, fast filtering and clean traffic delivery.
DDoS protection: hardware or software?
Compare placement, capacity, filtering policy, failure behavior and operating cost before choosing an appliance, software dataplane or managed protected transit.
What is a DDoS scrubbing center? Traffic paths, ownership and buying criteria
Understand what a scrubbing center does, what the advertised capacity does not establish, and how to choose between protected transit and your own filtering infrastructure.
How a DDoS scrubbing center works: attraction, filtering, delivery and recovery
Follow the operating chain with explicit authorization, matched observations, bounded policy changes and application checks before declaring recovery.

Real-time DDoS mitigation means detecting abnormal traffic, applying precise filtering and delivering clean traffic before links, firewalls or game servers collapse.
Why a firewall alone may not stop a DDoS attack
Separate link saturation, packet processing, connection state and application load to find where a firewall needs upstream or specialist DDoS protection.

Diagnose reflected Memcached replies, distinguish victim-side filtering from securing a cache, and preserve legitimate traffic when choosing where to mitigate.
NTP amplification: diagnosis and filtering
Distinguish legitimate time synchronization from reflected NTP traffic, restrict exposed control queries and validate mitigation without breaking your clocks.
ACK flood protection: mitigate TCP DDoS attacks without blocking real sessions
An ACK flood targets the part of TCP that should normally look legitimate: packets that appear to belong to established connections. The problem is not only bandwidth. High packet rate, spoofed ACKs and asymmetric paths can exhaust firewalls, load balancers, routers or servers before the application understands what is happening. Good mitigation must reduce the flood early while preserving real sessions that already exist.
DDoS amplification attack explained: why small requests can become massive floods
A DDoS amplification attack uses third-party services to turn small spoofed requests into much larger responses sent to the victim. The target does not only receive traffic from the attacker. It receives reflected traffic from many legitimate servers on the Internet, often using UDP-based protocols. Understanding amplification is essential before choosing protected IP transit, a scrubbing model or a gaming proxy, because the failure point is usually upstream capacity rather than the application itself.
DNS amplification DDoS mitigation: protect exposed infrastructure without blocking legitimate DNS
DNS amplification is one of the most common UDP reflection patterns because DNS is widely available, response sizes can be larger than requests and spoofed traffic can be directed at a victim. The mitigation challenge is precise: blocking all UDP/53 may stop a graph, but it can also break DNS-dependent services. A serious design separates open resolver abuse, reflected floods and legitimate DNS traffic before the attack reaches the customer edge.
SYN flood protection: mitigate TCP DDoS attacks without blocking real connections
A SYN flood is not only about sending many packets. It abuses the TCP opening phase to create pressure on connection queues, stateful firewalls, load balancers and exposed servers. Effective protection must filter early, avoid state exhaustion and keep legitimate users able to establish sessions.
UDP flood mitigation: stop a UDP DDoS without breaking legitimate traffic
A UDP flood is not just “a lot of UDP packets”. Depending on the service, it can saturate a link, exhaust a firewall, trigger useless responses or disrupt a real-time protocol such as gaming, VoIP, DNS, VPN or a UDP-based application. Good mitigation is not about blocking UDP everywhere. It is about separating obvious noise from useful traffic, protecting upstream capacity and delivering clean traffic with low latency.
Volumetric vs application-layer DDoS: differences, risks and the right mitigation model
A volumetric DDoS attack and an application-layer DDoS attack do not break a service in the same way. The first mainly tries to saturate network capacity, ports, packet rate or upstream paths. The second targets service logic: HTTP, APIs, authentication, game proxies or expensive requests. Understanding the difference helps choose a mitigation design that actually works instead of relying on a generic Anti-DDoS promise.

Custom XDP for DDoS: when it is worth building
Decide whether custom XDP solves your bottleneck, distinguish its execution modes and define the traffic, measurements and rollback needed before deployment.
Why low latency still matters under DDoS mitigation
Under attack, staying online is not enough. Useful Anti-DDoS protection must also preserve stable latency, controlled jitter and clean delivery for legitimate traffic.
L3, L4, L7 protection: the real differences in Anti-DDoS
L3, L4 and L7 are often used as sales labels, but they do not protect the same part of the traffic path. This guide explains the real differences between network, transport and application filtering, and how to choose a coherent Anti-DDoS design with protected IP transit, tunnels, reverse proxy or router VM.
What to do when your hoster’s Anti-DDoS is no longer enough
When your hoster’s Anti-DDoS is no longer enough, the worst decision is often to migrate in a hurry. This guide explains how to identify the real limit, keep the existing server when possible, then add specialised protection with tunnels, reverse proxy, router VM or protected IP transit.
How to migrate from a hoster Anti-DDoS to specialised protection without changing server
You can upgrade DDoS protection without moving machines, reinstalling services or leaving your current hoster. The goal is to place a specialised network layer in front of the existing infrastructure, filter attacks there, then deliver clean traffic back to the same server.

How to choose an Anti-DDoS provider without getting trapped
Choosing an Anti-DDoS provider should not be reduced to a Tbps number or a promise of unlimited protection. What matters is how traffic enters the mitigation layer, how it is filtered, how clean traffic is delivered back, what visibility you get during an attack and which limits actually exist.
Asymmetric routing and Anti-DDoS: what you need to know
Asymmetric routing is not automatically a problem in Anti-DDoS. The real question is which functions require strict symmetry, how clean traffic returns to production, and whether the provider depends on mechanisms such as SYN proxy. This guide explains when asymmetry truly becomes an issue, why some providers tolerate it poorly, and why at Peeryx it does not degrade filtering quality.
