DOSarrest are specialists in stopping DDoS and DoS attacks of all varieties
23 01 2012This is our sole purpose, and our anti DDoS network is built to handle the largest and most complex attacks.
We service websites representing the following industries: pharmaceuticals, gaming, online payment processing, music downloads, software sales/distribution and numerous large brand name E-commerce sites.
We do not filter based on geography or other methods that filter out large blocks of IP address space. Our proprietary techniques only block malicious IP addresses, on an IP by IP instance and on a continuous basis. This ensures zero false positives.
Most other DDoS mitigation services only have a proxy component. DOSarrest has both proxy and caching components. This means that should you have a massive burst of legitimate traffic, our system is always ready for it. In essence the system acts as a CDN as well, able to distribute massive amounts of content to legitimate users. All this is done without any stress on your server.

Netflix Internet Film Subscription Service Finally Goes LIVE in the UK – Estimated to account for “nearly a third” of all peak downstream internet traffic
10 01 2012The “all-you-can-eat” service is available on a raft of different devices from computers (Mac, Windows), to games consoles (Sony PS3, Nintendo Wii, Microsoft Xbox 360), mobile phones (Android , iPhone) and related tablets. As usual the video quality will depend upon your broadband speed.
According to Netflix, its films come with three different video quality settings (based on Microsoft Silverlight technology). The lowest quality requires a “minimum speed” of 500Kbps (0.5Mbps) and will consume up to 0.3GB/hour of data. By contrast the High Definition (HD) stream eats up to 2.3GB/hour and will need a stable speed of about 5Mbps.
Infinera, a firm that aims to provide the world’s most economically compelling optical networks, has warned that Netflix represents “a huge challenge” for telecoms providers and is estimated to account for “nearly a third” of all peak downstream internet traffic.

Internet Braces For Stream-Only Netflix – traffic will jump by 50 percent
17 12 2011During peak hours — after dinner time until around midnight — Netflix already accounts for somewhere between 20 and 30 percent of all US Internet traffic. So what will happen to the Internet if the 14 million Netflix subscribers who send and receive DVDs via the mail suddenly start streaming everything they watch?
Well, that traffic will jump by 50 percent, according to Thomas Barnett, Senior Manager of thought leadership marketing at Cisco. Barnett’s team spends their time thinking about the future of the Internet’s traffic, so his guess is as good as anyone’s when it comes to this subject.
That’s a big chunk of traffic, for network providers that are already seeing data jump at 30 to 40 percent per year, but it’s not enough to crush the newtwork, Barnett says. “It might fill up the pipes a bit more, but the network capacity is there,” he says.
