1. Baseline protection
Where offered, DDoS protection is designed to mitigate certain volumetric or protocol attacks. The exact scope depends on upstream network capabilities and the purchased tier.
2. No absolute guarantee
No DDoS service can guarantee uninterrupted service against every attack. Large, complex or application-layer attacks may require filtering, rate limits, null-routing, additional protection or customer application changes.
3. Mitigation actions
AlpineLayer may filter traffic, rate-limit, change routes, challenge requests or temporarily null-route a target to protect the broader platform.
5. Outbound attacks
Using AlpineLayer infrastructure to generate attacks is prohibited and may result in immediate suspension.
