[c-nsp] Cisco Guard & the detection/mitigation modules for the 6500

[Drew Weaver]

    Hi there, I am looking for first hand experience on the Cisco Guard
products, as well as any opinions on the anomaly line of service cards
for the 6500 series switch.
 
I've read the cisco marketing on the products and it states that "over
buying bandwidth is not a proper solution to the problem of DDoS
attacks." However, I am not certain how any hardware is going to prevent
transit lines from being flooded before it reaches your edge interface.
 
Does anyone have any idea how and if these products work?
 
Thanks,
-Drew
