Surely both vendors have gear in many of the Tier1 carriers whether it be for layered security or dual vendor approach. When it comes down to deciding between the two you need to consider the deployment models and techniques in use. These two vendors strong points are in two separate areas. Arbor Peakflow is a very good traffic analysis tool which leverages netflow from your existing routers for probes providing good l3-l4 volumetric flood detection. Once a pps/bw anomaly is detected you can decide whether to reroute traffic into a scrubbing device (TMS/Radware, etc). Arbor common deployment is OOP netflow collection with redirection to scrubbing center. On the other hand Radware is a full packet inspection and mitigation (Layers 3-7) appliance. Radware is a transparent device with it's most common deployments inline, scrubbing center and out of path TAP modes.

For a DDoS solution; my experience leans on arbor's peakflow and theirpartnership with other upstream carrier's (Level3, Peer1, etc.) which makessense since most of the attacks are distributed having recon work done byan organization like arbor makes you only worry about the attack types thatcome into your network and not much the top part complexities of it.I am in no relationship with arbor or any of it's employees. this is solelybased on my knowledge of the product. regards, -Beavis On Thu, Sep 26, 2013 at 10:47 AM, Tempest <tempestterror () gmail com> wrote:Doing a bunch of research, and I can't find a meaningful comparison ofthese two products. Work for a carrier, and I am looking at implementing aDDoS mitigation service that we can sell to our customers. Radware is cheaper, but I am seeing a lot of noise in various forums that makes me question their viability for what we need. Arbor has most of the market, and I assume there is good reason for it. Both companies seem to be verydeceptive about how they compare to the other. Anyone out there with good hands on experience that can compare? Not interested in input from either company, we get plenty of that already. Good experience, or links to goodwrite ups would be excellent...
