Re: RE: Re: DDoS protection

Guys, thanks a lot for your replies. I appreciate that.

When I say small Org, I meant geographically and the number of employees =
within the Org. The turnover is humongous. As I said in the earlier posts=
, a delay/ latency in a millisecond counts when transactions take place (=
transactions =3D bread & butter of the Org).=20

With the replies that I got so far suggests (well, what I understood so f=
ar)that having an In-House Anti-DDoS appliance isn't going to provide an =
edge and there is little we can do on the box when the attack actually ha=
ppens. The boxes at ISP level are more robust and can handle the situatio=
n at their level.

Am I missing any point (technical) here? Is there anything wherein ISP ma=
y fail and if the attack should happen we are in position to handle it at=
 the next layer? We do not have a budget constrain, provided we have a so=
lid justification on why an in-house mechanism for DDoS protection.

Thanks,
KT
