Protecting against DDOS by rf0 · 2003-03-13 06:29 · Score: 1, Offtopic

What is the best way to protect against DDOS? Going from what I have seen there have been a number of ideas such as getting any inbound routers to check that they have a path for any incoming packets and Filter RF1918 address space. Also rate limiting helps but none seem to be a total cure. What else can be done?
