Hi, Skywing.
We've had a few DDoS attacks and lots of scans and hack attempts. Some
of the DDoS attacks managed to wipe out our front-end. At no point were
the route-servers impacted, since we keep them well away from our
networks, widely distributed, and vigorously monitored (configs,
responsiveness, advertisements).
Of course we're not perfect and there is no 100% solution, but we
understand the implications of filtering gone awry (especially since we
use it ourselves), and spend a lot of time and code keeping an eye on
these things. Knowing that no one has a monopoly on imagination, we
also have some friends at commercial pen-testers hit us regularly, just
to be sure. :)
Thanks,
Rob.
