The firewall can protect against Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) attacks at
an industry leading data rate. An example of a DDoS attack is the SYN fl ood
attack. The SYN flood attack sends half open TCP connection requests faster than
a server can process them, which can cripple a network.
To effectively stop these attacks, DDoS protection is built into the platform.
The firewall is designed to handle high volume DDoS attacks, allowing legitimate
application traffic to be serviced without interruption.
The ASIC can handle millions of SYN flood attacks per second with 0% additional
load on the CPU utilization.
It can protect ddos attacks for up to 1gbps
Source-IP Based Connection Rate Limit: Protects the
system from excessive connection requests from individual
clients.
