Unless the connection broker has more bandwidth than the server, the attack will just take it out instead, still denying access to the site. Either it doesn't work or it's just adding more bandwidth with extra steps. Your solution might help people already connected to the server, but anyone else is still out of luck.

- fragmede 5y agoYes but those extra steps are material in handling the DDOS because of differences in time, effort, and expertise required to get them setup. The work required to handle a UDP flood when your application is TCP only is different than a highly motivated attacker with the resources to do a TCP-based attack that looks like legitimate traffic.
