DDoS Protection over FlexTunnel
For off-net access to Inter.link’s carrier-grade DDoS Protection service, FlexTunnel provides the access layer and return path for clean traffic, while routing based traffic redirection using BGP is applied only during mitigation events.
When a DDoS attack occurs, affected IP prefixes are redirected to Inter.link for scrubbing, malicious traffic is filtered, and only clean traffic is returned to the customer through the tunnels.
This allows customers to retain their existing upstream providers and network autonomy while benefiting from Inter.link’s carrier grade DDoS mitigation capabilities without physical connectivity.
