We (AperNet) have an open-source anti-ddos flow monitor called apermon
that provides some interesting capabilities.

Sorry for the late reply... Sightline *Insight* is the piece the sales team won't sell me, and TAC won't support me, 
for deployment in our private-cloud environment: it has to be hosted on one of 3 canned server configurations.

I am using Sightline/TMS virtually and it's fine there.

you need to buy a moderately-expensive hardware server (they don’t let you virtualize it)


To clarify, Sightline has supported virtualization for many years, FYI.

 I’m not aware of any anti-DDoS products at ISP scale that aren’t SFlow + Flowspec, possibly including “scrubbing” 
(diverter box);


 I don’t know if it’s an in-band appliance, or a “scrubber”-on-a-stick


In addition to flow telemetry, D/RTBH, S/RTBH, and flowspec, Sightline/TMS supports intelligent DDoS mitigation 
directly in-line or via diversion/reinjection.
