I thought DDOS prevention was difficult with udp, compared to TCP. Is it not the case anymore. Does cloudflare provide DDOS prevention for QUIC/UDP.

- mirashii 7y agoUDP DDOSes are hard to prevent against because they're volumetric in nature. Generally, they rely on UDP's statelessness, poorly configured networks, and various applications that respond with significantly more data than requested over UDP. These types of DDOSes are useful against any service that's running on TCP or UDP, and Cloudflare has protected against them all along.
