Re[4]: DDOS mitigation

[Thierry Zoller <Thierry () Zoller lu>]

Dear Brad Smith,

Your traffic is already being routed through "other networks first"
right now at this very moment. How sure are you that there is not
a ba guy somewhere in your routing path right now ?

SB> While it is true that this will filter off DDOS attacks for your
SB> network, it does mean that ALL your traffic is going to another
SB> network first. EVERY packet is being checked by a third party,
SB> different network and possibly even a different country. What does
SB> security think about having  a different company/country examining
SB> every packet that is heading to your network. How private is this
SB> company? Will the latency affect your company/visit/sales? 

SB> Just some things to consider.
