Re: Buying IP Bandwidth Across a Peering Exchange

Hi Conor, I know this is possible since Hurricane Electric does it for IPv6 transit, however, I'm not sure if it violates any exchange rules or if it's even a good idea. > On 25 Nov 2014, at 10:47 pm, Colton Conor wrote: > > I know typically peering exchanges are made for peering traffic betw

What’s a cheaper alternative to the MX104s? We take a full BGP table and are on the AMS-IX and DE-CIX and are looking for a new router. The MX series looks a bit out of budget but we’re currently looking into the Brocade MLX series. We push under 10Gbps, but we do need 10Gbps routing due to cap

I'd beg to differ on this one. The average attacks we're seeing are double that, around the 30-40g mark. Since NTP and SSDP amplification began, we've been seeing all kinds of large attacks. Obviously, these can easily be blocked upstream to your network. Hibernia Networks blocks them for us.

You'd notice that most people don't really know how big the attack that they're sending is. I've done a lot of research into how these attacks actually work and most of them are done by kids who don't really know what they're doing. To them an attack is something that will take their target down
