- musicale 5y agoIt's annoying that game infrastructure is under constant attack. The worst is the fun-destroyers who love to break things for the holidays. I do wonder why DDoS still seems to be so easy though. You would think that by now we'd have ISP ingress policing, most reflection attacks would be shut down, and things like programmable switch hardware, FPGAs, and smart NICs could easily work as line-rate edge protection (both in the distributed edge cloud/CDN and the data center) and reject any packets that were duplicates (or duplicate users), came from the wrong place, or weren't encrypted properly.
