A clean pipe is a type of DDoS mitigation solution that protects against volumetric DDoS attacks. The clean pipe service blocks network flood attack traffic before it enters an organization’s network and ensures that the organisation’s services are available to their legitimate users.

The REDtone Clean Pipe service secures all backend network elements, including the origin of applications, network infrastructure and backend IPs typically associated with proxy solutions. It is highly suitable for organisations that cannot afford any downtime of assets running their own network

Implemented via tunneling and making use of BGP-anycast routing, REDtone Clean Pipe guards network resources against all volumetric and protocol-based DDoS attacks, such as UDP, SMTP and SYN floods.

How Does It Work?

All incoming traffic must pass through a cleaning center, also known as “scrubbing center”, where malicious traffic is identified and separated, permitting only legitimate traffic to get the server.
