Your only option is block the IP addresses but if its a large botnet or a reflected attack it may not be possible

- BenjiWiebe 5y agoBlocking the IP at your router won't help if your router's upstream is saturated...
- water8 5y agoWhy are you saturating your own link? You control your upstream unless you've already been breached or there is a vulnerability in your router firmware
- warrenm 5y agoI don't think you're using "upstream" the way parent does (and the way everyone else I know uses it) You only control what you're uploading You have no control of what is upstream of the router (ie your carrier and beyond), since you're downstream of that
- explaingarlic 5y agoIf someone is sending me 1Gbps at layer 3, doesn't that just saturate my link to my ISP (and therefore the open internet) anyway? Regardless of whether I block it with my router?
