Netcup.de 2 Tbps DDOS Protection .WOW. layer 3-4-7
Just discovered one of their facebook post.. now they got 2TBPS ddos protection instead of 5Gbps.

So what is this, Voxility or something? They just say traffic will be rerouted, no info about how it works.
Looks like they're using anexia for it. (https://anexia.com/en/hosting-it-solutions/managed-hosting/ddos-protection)
Curious to know more about their layer 7 protection and how it works.
The rerouting bit makes me think not this - but I believe pushing your mitigation rules to your upstream via flowspec (where accepted by your upstreams) can get you serious gains in terms of mitigations. Might be related.
One time about 5 or so years ago I saw a Germany IP (/32) that had a nullroute pushed up and level3 dropped inbound traffic at source in Miami. Apply the same principle to mitigation rules and that would be pretty powerful.
Null route != FlowSpec. FlowSpec allows you to pushfirewall rules through BGP to selectively drop the packets, I.e. src port UDP/53 then rate-limit or reject. Blackhole drops everything.
There’s no tier 1 accepting FlowSpec at the moment, there are however plenty networks using their within their own backbones
As far as I remember, NTT or/and GTT offered us flowspec some time ago.
However, we ended up with RETN as their network was far more attractive for our use case.
Define some time?
netcup is a part of anexia company
Around two years ago
My understanding is that this is no longer the case and whoever had access had it later removed, but I guess worth checking with the account manager :-).
Thanks
Its very slow in becoming active, moved my personal TS3 server there and it was a nightmare.
Server was down 3 minutes before mitigation even started working, and even then it went offline after working fine for 10 minutes. Moved it back to OVH Game.
I'm not sure if their Anti-DDoS got worse since their press announcement. Previously I had received messages about the Anti-DDoS how it got active and filtered small attacks (the server stayed online.). Sometimes they did even null route me.
However, yesterday evening I got a DDoS Attac,k and nothing happened. The server went offline due to the high amount of traffic. I can see the attack in the control panel quite well (the spike of traffic) but as it seems nothing happened in filtering.
Monitoring also reported it as down throughout the whole attack.
Did anyone else experience DDoS Attacks on their netcup service yet and can report about their experiences?
Really nice!
