>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.)
