<p><span style="color:black">Seems to be a spate of DDOS against UK based voip providers at the moment. For ransom. Don't pay.</span></p>
<p><span style="color:black"> </span></p>
<p><span style="color:black">One provider said that traditional approaches did not work. They tried Voxility but just got false positives. There are providers that do work.

<p><span style="color:black"> </span></p>
<p><span style="color:black">But in the UK a lot of traffic goes over peers through internet exchanges. So just swapping transit only half the problem.</span></p>
<p><span style="color:black"><br>
Prep wise:</span></p>
<p><span style="color:black">So practice altering your IP advertisements, dropping and bringing up peers. If you connect to route servers, practice doing selective announcements. Try to get private interconnects to your upstream telco providers. Get your
network teams warmed up for when it does happen. If you host with a cloud provider, have a backup because if DDOS is coming from the same cloud .....</span></p>
