[AusNOG] DDOS mitigation

[Matt Perkins]

Gday Noggers,
  We are updating  out DDOS mitigation plan and along the way we have 
ended up with a transit partner that has no system to black whole /32's 
at the ingress. Most of our peers have a community you can advertise to 
black whole an address but this one provider does not they want us to 
ring the help desk and log a case when a DDOS is underway. An 
unacceptable  plan as far as I am concerned.

So that prompted me look at when the contract of the transit that cant 
black whole expires and it's soon. So my question to the transit 
providers out there. How many of you have a black whole community or 
some other sort of DDOS mitigation strategy that can be implemented with 
your partners.

The ones that do that I know of are. PIPE and Vocus, I wont name and 
shame the have not's.

Matt.
