Also usually AWS doesn't turn attack into revenue, they push customer up the "support tier" (gold/platinum whatever they are called now) and strip the DDOS traffic from expenses as much as possible. Those tiers are quite

I have no much experience with co-located services so can't really comment on that. I can't go in detail how and what mitigations are applied on AWS site also, as I feel obliged to leave as much weapons on a "good" side

My comment was a bit more general than pure "packet". I agree thats where the disconnect between low lever service provider and customers come - providers revenues and expenses are "packets", while they don't always

What do you think. Sustained DDoS attack must at least generate enough revenue to cover sustained expenses if they are incurred or no?

Internet as a whole yes, making a single attacked web service resilient to DDOSes at a low cost is quite a challenge.

Geo DNS (to be more precise AS numbers is what is used) is something that is sometimes used as a very last resort - customers in China are customers as well, and if you drop everything from China thats effectively what the attacker wanted.

No one likes DDOSes from China. One can plead Amazon as much as one wants. Pay or get booted, there are probably 2 engineers paid 6 figures a year by Amazon getting paged for this DDOS, someone must pay for the time they spend tuning DDOS p
