offering
blanket payments for DoS down time.downtime is seperate from this SLA.I will give them credit for guaranteeing a response in 15 minutes or less. Now is a response the opening of a ticket or the null routing
of
the attack traffic in 15 minutes?Just speaking to an engineer that can help you. There is no way to guarantee and end to a DoS in any reasonable amount of time ;( For instance, Suresh's main 'job' is email, so null routing his MX hosts
will
stop the attack, but it is hardly desirable, eh? Same for filtering
tcp/25
syn packets :( There is no magic here, you all are smart enough to understand how DoS works, how to stop it and the complications inherent in both.
Well, kudos to you guys for raising the SLA bar to include this provision then. Jason
