Holy moly... we get multiple slams a day against our network with burst of up to 6 Gbps. Almost all of these attacks originate from China and are targeting UDP port 17 (Quote of the Day service).
Really strange because the victim servers aren't running the service. But I suppose the hacker is just brute force filling up the inbound pipe.
Not really a big deal to null route these things and we can usually filter these out within 2 minutes.
Anyone else in the carrier/dedicated hosting environment getting these?
I would just love to aim 80 Gbps back at the attackers, but that would be illegal
