This is not a question asking how to stop an attack. This is simply a thread for anyone and everyone to discuss ideas for preventing, dealing with, and keeping your server alive during these attacks.

Do not discuss using 3rd party software, this is a place to make your own ideas and read others.

Post examples if you'd like. Post ideas how to filter out flood attacks. Post ideas how to keep your server alive while being under a heavy DDoS attack.
