Put more concretely, how many can front 100+ Gbps? E.g. 2-3, or dozens, hundreds, any teenager, etc.


Depends what kind of attack they use. A few years back, reflection attacks were all the rage, and it was cheap as fuck. But I can't say how many Gbps they delivered.

They'd usually market this as "stresstest" service, and you could pay by Paypal etc. Curiously they were all behind a Cloudflare-anti-DDoS wall. I still wonder if Cloudflare knew/knows about them, probably good for their business.
