Activation:
DDoS Mitigation is active for all Public Peering members at no additional cost.
Recommendations to members:
Packets received from TurkIX and marked with Priority Code Point (PCP) = 1 are processed with the lowest priority. During a large DDoS attack or network congestion, these packets are dropped first, ensuring that legitimate traffic is prioritized and preserved for the member.
If the connection between TurkIX network and the member's network is routed through a third party with lower speed than the port, it is advised that the third party also prioritize packets marked with PCP = 1 at the lowest level.
During an attack, members can opt for low-rate limiting on packets marked with PCP = 1 and destined for the attacked host, instead of using BGP Blackholing, which blocks all traffic to the host. This approach mitigates the attack while maintaining the host's connectivity. To prevent internal network overload, it is recommended to apply this rule on the device directly connected to the TurkIX network.
