It is usually our customers who are attacked, but that hits our network so we need to be able to mitigate it. Last week we saw 163 "significant" attacks (which is a fairly typical week). A "significant" attack is one that generally exceeds 10Gbps, 5M PPS, or finds another way to affect other customers to the point that our ops team is alerted.
(I fully understand designing for the event - but the emphasis on it in the post makes it seem that you're under constant threat. I am assuming it is your customers that are actually being DDoS'd and Cloudflare just needs to be built up to stand against DDoS in this case??)
