[Asterisk-Users] Teliax Down?

[Max Clark]

I hate to burst your bubble but DOS attacks are a fact of life for IP based
services. The bigger you get the more of a target you are. There are a ton
of DOS prevention/mitigation appliances/services available in today's world.
But they all rely on the same thing: having more bandwidth/capacity than
your attacker.

I've seen DOS attacks against ISP customers of mine that were pushing over a
million packets per second across 50+ peering points. Not many networks can
absorb that kind of thing.

If your phones are that critical to your business you need to get dedicated
service (aka T1), or switch to a service with static registration that can
be protected with a good firewall.
