Great topic, and one that hits close to home for anyone running competitive servers. Let me break down the fundamentals first, then get into the math. At the core, DDoS attacks operate across three layers, and your mitigation strategy has to address each differently. Volumetric attacks (UDP/ICMP floods, amplification via open NTP/Memcached/resolver reflections) aim to saturate your link, measured in bits per second — you’re fighting against your uplink’s raw capacity, which is why 100 Gbps+ scrubbing at the edge matters more than server-side tuning here. Protocol attacks (SYN floods, ACK floods) target connection state on firewalls and the kernel’s socket tables, measured in packets per second — these don’t need to saturate bandwidth, they just exhaust stateful resources. Application-layer attacks (HTTP/Slowloris) are the nastiest for game servers because they mimic legitimate players, targeting
