We have been doing some research into this as well, and have looked at RadWare, Top Layer and the Cisco (Riverguard) products. None of them impressed me to the level that we need protection, and currently we are looking at managed mintigation services, such as LANPortals (www.lanportals.com) and Prolexic / Digi-Defense (www.prolexic.com), both of which will offer SLA's for your required bandwidth situation. The costs of the devices are high, so it should be easy to justify a monthly charge for a guaranteed solution, which is going to be updated to handle new attacks that are developed, as opposed to marrying yourself to an expensive piece of hardware, that will potentially be obsolete in a year, or less.

hi, guys. my apologies for the cross-post and if this topic was already posted before in this list... i've been googling around for anti-ddos solutions/appliances and would just like to get inputs from gurus here who already have an idea or have implemented real-world anti-ddos systems in their own network. i understand an anti-ddos appliance is not enough, but just the same, are these appliances worth it on their own (as opposed to load-balancing or scaling-out solutions)? what other technologies do i need to implement/know to mitigate such attacks? related links/online resources will also be much appreciated. regards, dan
