Automated DDoS Mitigation (RamNull)

RamNull is our customized DDoS mitigation system. RamNull automatically nullroutes targeted IPs across our network and emails respective clients when under attack. Nullroutes are lifted every few minutes and re-applied if the attack is ongoing. Since nullroutes are handled quickly and automatically, RamNull minimizes downtime experienced by neighbor clients when an IP on the same node is under attack.

This system is not the same as DDoS protection since a nullroute does take your IP offline. If you need DDoS protection (i.e., filtering), please see this article.
