Re: DDoS mitigation Equinix?
I actually use GigeNET at the moment for DDoS protection and they're terrible. Their trigger detection is terrible at picking up attacks and my attack is barely ever mitigated because of it.

isn't the offering just a whiteboxed verisgn/prolexic equivalent though?

Re: DDoS mitigation Equinix?
Equinix doesn't provide Ddos protection , cloud flare is able to mitigate attacks by spreading out the traffic across 20-30 different pops which are mostly located at Equinix. Cloud flare is pretty much a cdn , people have been using cdns for years to mitigate Ddos like akaimi , wasn't really popular though because of how expensive cdns like Akamai were, btw they recently bought prolexic.

Re: DDoS mitigation Equinix?
CF is willing to offer network drops over GRE / XCs too and filter everything apparently if the price is right. It is a custom service, though.
