When enterprises are looking for suitable high-defense solutions for their businesses, they will find that the parameters of high-defense services on the market are seriously false and cannot resist real attacks at all. Therefore, before renting a US high-defense server, it is necessary to judge the cleaning capability. It mainly lies in three dimensions: defense peak, inspection accuracy, and elastic expansion. The defense peak must be verified through real traffic stress testing, the accuracy needs to focus on the false positive rate, and the elastic expansion is to test the resource allocation speed during sudden attacks. This article will reveal the core methodology for evaluating cleaning capabilities and help you choose a reliable US high-defense server.
1. Cleaning capability verification: from theoretical value to actual combat effectiveness
1. Defense peak authenticity test
The defense capability claimed by the computer room needs to pass three verifications: the first is the stress test report, which requires the provision of a test report from a third-party organization (such as CloudHarmony), focusing on the performance under TCP/UDP mixed attack scenarios. The second is the hardware topology diagram, confirming the deployment location of the cleaning equipment (near-source cleaning is better than local cleaning), and verifying the total bandwidth reserve of the cluster. The third is the historical attack log, checking the recent actual defense records, focusing on the analysis of attack types and successful interception ratios.
Key indicators: SYN Flood processing capacity tests the maximum throughput under different packet sizes (64B1500B), and the defense of 64B small packets is more difficult; HTTP/CC attack response simulates a CC attack of 100,000 QPS to observe whether the business delay fluctuation is <20%; the time required for elastic expansion speed to expand from the basic defense value to the peak value (excellent standard: <30 seconds).
2. Cleaning accuracy and business compatibility
The biggest hidden danger of high-defense services is the mistaken killing of normal traffic. It is necessary to verify the game protocol identification, and for games with UDP protocol (such as shooting), test the accuracy of the defense system in releasing legitimate data packets. There is also API interface compatibility, simulate the user login/payment process, and confirm that the JSON data is not blocked by the abnormal packet filtering rules. Finally, look at the mistaken killing rate report, requiring the provision of statistics for the past 3 months, and the normal user interception rate should be <0.01%.
2. In-depth evaluation of elastic upgrade capabilities
The resource reserve model analysis mainly relies on the depth of the underlying resource pool for elastic expansion, focusing on the bandwidth redundancy rate:
Total available bandwidth ≥ 150% of the nominal defense value (e.g. 450G physical bandwidth is required for a nominal 300G)
The size of the IP address pool. When suffering from a TCP connection exhaustion attack, the number of available IPs must be greater than 10 times the number of business peak connections. There is also BGP line diversity, because the expansion limit of a single operator's line is obvious, and the independent expansion capabilities of China Telecom/China Unicom/China Mobile need to be verified.
What is the sudden attack response mechanism? True elasticity requires automatic triggering, automatic expansion based on traffic characteristics, rather than manual submission of work orders. Incremental defense is also required. For every 50G increase in attack traffic, the cleaning nodes are dynamically increased and the delay fluctuation is less than 5ms. In terms of cost controllability, it is charged according to the actual defense traffic, and it is not a fixed package (e.g. defense fee per G ≤ $0.5/hour).
Test plan:
#Simulate step-by-step attack growth (+50G every 5 minutes)

done3. Key scenario stress test list
1. Hybrid attack simulation
Build a real attack environment:
Traffic layer: SYN Flood (40%) + UDP reflection (30%)
Application layer: HTTP slow connection (15%) + CC attack (15%)
Attack source: Globally distributed botnet (>50 national IPs)
Qualification standard: Business availability maintained at 99.9%, delay fluctuation <100ms
2. Service migration drill
Simulate emergency plan for high-defense service failure: DNS switch to backup cleaning cluster, session retention mechanism verification (game does not drop), new cluster takeover time (required to be <90 seconds).
3. Extreme stress testing
Gradually increase the attack intensity until the business crashes, record the crash threshold (percentage of actual defense value/nominal value), failure mode (bandwidth exhaustion, session number limit exceeded, CPU overload), and recovery time (service self-healing time after the attack stops).
4. Hidden risk points in contract terms
Clean capability definition traps, be wary of vague statements about "maximum defense value", and clearly write: "Guarantee that under SYN/UDP/CC mixed attacks of ≤ [specific value] Gbps, business availability ≥ 99.9%" Indicate the attack type coverage (such as Memcached reflection attacks must be included). The expansion restriction clause rejects the "single expansion upper limit" clause (such as "up to 100G each time") and agrees on the expansion effective time (written commitment ≤ 30 seconds). Service compensation standards include business interruption compensation ≥ 300% of the contract amount and a third-party audit report is required for SLA breach.
5. Long-term monitoring and optimization mechanism
The real-time performance dashboard mainly deploys key indicator monitoring, attack traffic composition such as SYN/UDP/CC ratio, cleaning decision delay from detection to effectiveness (excellent: <500ms), and false alarm system, automatic alarm when normal request interception rate > 0.1%. In the iteration of attack and defense strategies, it is necessary to update the attack feature library every month, conduct red-blue confrontation drills every quarter, and synchronize attack logs to SIEM systems (such as Splunk) for threat modeling.
Choosing the elastic expansion of the US high-defense server is the response speed, and the monitoring system is the early warning radar. After the above test verification, we can help you choose the US high-defense server with real defense to ensure stable and secure business!
