Successful Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) attacks resulted in reported losses in the millions of dollars in 2005 alone. A number of service providers have reacted to the needs of their customers and currently offer automated, network-based, DDoS services that employ Cisco Systems Clean Pipes solution. These services have proven to be profitable almost from their inception. However, service providers have also realized a number of supplemental gains in operational savings, bandwidth conservation, and service differentiation that have transformed DDoS mitigation services from tangential to strategic. This paper, based on interviews with a number of services providers now offering DDoS services based on the Clean Pipes solution, describes not only their service successes, but also the ways they utilize Clean Pipes.
