[c-nsp] Any good Cisco (or other vendor) appliances for application server DDoS prevention?

[Artur]

Hello Drew,

Unfortunately there isn't a efficient DDoS mitigation appliance. Simply 
because, to my knowledge there ins't an appliance able to handle the 
huge amount of traffic sent by a DDoS attack.
Only your SP could prevent this from reaching you.
The only things you could do would be get some redundancy.

cheers
Artur
