Doesn't that also provide a huge incentive for cloud offerings to sell DDOS-resistance products and services? Isn't that a huge market already with gigantic margins?

OVH throws their DDoS mitigation system in for free when you host with them.

How does their system work and how effective is it?

It's built on FPGA and it's very effective.

Game servers that are hosted on OVH get DDOSed daily and they drop like flies.

Myself and a lot of friends had servers killed both when renting VPS/Dedicated server or a dedicated "Game Server".

And all and all with considerably smaller botnets like the ones you rent for a few $ per hour.

If you are running a public server you learn quite quickly that if you permaban a cheater or just some annoying kid you should expect to be DDoSed these days.
