If the attack is over 10Gbps good luck with that... This stuff is best effort.

I don't think so, 2years ago they mitigated 180gbps on one client.

Also everyone here talk about L7, cloudflare ect.. but a lot of application are pure TCP/UDP based so you can't cache anything.

I'd bet that 'one client' getting the ~200gbps DDoS has a massive monthly bill (likely hundreds/thousands of servers) so they're happy to mitigate short term DDoS.

Most dedicated server providers won't go that far if you have a handful of servers.
