Brief though. Someone testing something I imagine. A couple of hours of 53Gb, an hour of 73Gb ending at the same time, 5 minutes of 16.4Gb a bit later.

I'm looking at a site offering 'stress testing' offering me unlimited 90 minute duration 30Gbps UDP floods and/or 5 million PPS SYN floods.

For an idea of the scale of those attacks have a look at https://www.linx.net/pubtools/member-techlist.html

2Gbps would be enough to saturate AAISP's LINX connectivity. 30Gbps would certainly saturate their peering and their transit comfortably.

Hi all, We've posted some info here: http://aa.net.uk/news-20151119-dos.html

Wow!

Attack started on the 18th and a comprehensive statement published on the 20th with details of actions being taken to mitigate future attacks.

Time to consider how much getting out of my current contract would cost!

AAISPs response and transparency over the whole matter has been really commendable, even down to the recent 2nd LNS rebalance they had to do where they admitted there was a bit of human error. It is a shame so many ISPs have drifted away from being transparent with their customers.

+1

As soon as it started they kept the public (not just customers) in the loop!

However some providers don't even release details of attacks like this, or do so around 3 months later...

Well Done AAISP!

yes, AAISP have Clue; sadly they charge quite a lot for using 100gb or more of data a month, if you're into Netflix / Amazon Prime etc.

Yes this is a problem. There are meant to be new packages on the way. It would be nice if the new ones are as competitive as other ISPs in the same league, they might actualy expand their customer base a little if that happened.
