Re: TCP-AMP DDoS Attack - Fake abuse reports problem

Hello,

Since OVH has been offering DDOS protection capable of soaking up hundreds of gigabits+ per second as a standard with all their services for a long time, I'm assuming this is a miscommunication / standard support response.

I would try to get in touch with the network team and include pcaps.

Most of the hosting companies will do that to you because you're causing degradation of service quality for other customers.  Especially the lowcosters which even cut the costs of processing the abuse, and OVH is the world-renowned cost cutter.

Look out for data centers with appropriate DDoS countermeasures.  Those won't be cheap though.
