DDoS attacks are a growing problem. In July, Arbor Networks released global DDoS attack data derived from its ATLAS threat monitoring infrastructure that shows a surge in volumetric attacks in the first half of 2014 with over 100 attacks larger than 100GB/sec reported.

Sadly, it's not just the strength we should be worried about. In fact, BT found that DDoS attacks are becoming more effective, causing major disruption and sometimes bringing down organizations for entire working days.

We often hear about attacks against websites, most of which are mitigated by one of the many DDoS mitigation services available on the market. What I always wondered was how the big guys tackle these attacks. What weapons can an ISP bring to the battleground?
