Time to Mitigate


DDoS attacks are typically mitigated within a time frame of 2-10 seconds. This time range is applicable for various types of DDoS attacks, including Carpet Bombing Attacks that might target entire subnets.

DDoS Attacks

  • Standard Attacks: 2-5 seconds

  • Large-scale Attacks: Up to 10 seconds

Carpet Bombing Attacks

  • Subnet Level: Typically mitigated within 10 seconds

Factors Influencing TTM

  1. Size of the Attack: Larger attacks are generally mitigated more quickly due to the sudden spike in network activity.

  2. Attack Complexity: More complex attacks may require additional time for accurate mitigation.
