Based on the current market trend, Anti-DDoS Solutions is becoming more common, and there are many new providers coming into the market. Even local Internet Service Providers in every country is venturing into this market, as the demand from the customers continues to grow, where customers face increasing attacks and the size of the attack is getting larger each day.

Atypical DDoS attack isin the form of high volumes of requests sent at the same time from multiple points on the Internet to overwhelm network system resources or overload the bandwidth of the network infrastructure. Should a DDoS attack be successful, it will render a network infrastructure unstable or unavailable to its users. If the customers’ network or services are inaccessible, this could damage the customers’ industry reputation, which could materially and adversely impact ts
business operations.

However, it will be very costly for every Internet Service Provider (ISP) or Telecommunication Service Provider (Telco) to build a DDoS mitigation system to be readily available for the attack. As the attacks are unpredictable and coming from various sources globally, it becomes prohibitively expensive to predict and build their own infrastructure individually for comprehensive protection. The best approach would be a collaborative approach through building a sustainable ecosystem.

There are multiple design options available in designing Anti-DDoS infrastructure. Its dependent on various considerations and factors such as below:

1. Size of the Network
   Depending on how extensive the network, such as the number of upstream providers, the capacity of the network to be protected
2. Infrastructure Protection or Customer Network Protection?
   Is the intention to protect the internal Network infrastructure only? What if itis to protect the customer network or customer IP being attacked, which indirectly impacts the internal network infrastructure performance?
3. Cost of Investment vs Risk Appetite
   DDoS has been always being associated with the insurance concept. Its always down to the question of what the risk appetite is OR how long do you think an organization can afford to be out of service or being disconnected from the Internet today.

Regardless of the factors involved, Anti-DDos Protection no longer being a luxury but instead becoming a necessity for ISP or Telco to provide as a service. The only
dilemma or consideration would be what are the best performance vs value solutions that best fit into an organization, especially for a Telecom Operator.
