Potential topics to be covered including but not limited to are:

Describe how your service addresses the following attacks against a
university or regional network:
* DDoS attacks that result in a high volume of inbound traffic (greater
than 10Gb/s) and disrupt both the targeted services as well as the
operation of the network itself.
* Persistent DDoS attacks against key services or infrastructure (DNS, key
web server, VPN, etc.)

Capabilities we¹re interested in, but will welcome a more expansive
response:
* host a service remotely always and/or during an attack
* detect and alert of an attack
* scrub traffic
* work with major ISPs to coordinate mitigation
* DNS services
* layer 7-aware firewall/scrubbing

Please plan to include details such as:
* mechanisms supported for announcing prefixes for a scrubbing service
(e.g., BGP signaling)
* attack/service dashboard
* on-boarding process
* capacity
* how are SSL sessions proxied (who supplies keys, etc.)


Regards.
