Have anyone tried any DDoS attack mitigation appliance rather than Arbor PeakFlow TMS? I need it to be carrier-grade in terms of capacity and redundancy, and as far as I know, Arbor is the only product in the market which offers a "clean pipe" volume of traffic, so if the DDoS attack volume is, for example, 1Tbps, they will grant you for example 50Gbps of clean traffic.
Anyway, I'm open to other suggestions, and open-source products that can do the same purpose, we have network development team that can work on this.
A lot of new vendors have entered the DDoS attack prevention market other than Arbor, I've seen carrier grade devices made by Huawei, NSFocus, RioRey and many others.
If you're looking at something software based, I've used Andrisoft WanGuard and would recommend it.
Does anyone on list currently use Peakflow SP from Arbor with TMS, and is it truly a carrier grade DDoS detection and mitigation platform? Anyone have any experience with Plixir?

Peakflow SP with the TMS works quite well. Can be very fast once a threat is discovered, depending on how you set up the mitigation. If you use auto mitigate and anycast BGP announcements, you can get a base mitigation going within seconds.
Although it works quite well, it can be a bit pricey. I've seen but not yet played with DefensePro from Radware. I thought they also had premise based unit like Arbor's Pravail but I can't be sure on that.

What about DDOS protection as a service? is that something that is being
offered by more than a few vendors? I know of only one that exists through
a friend.
They basically start advertising your bgp routes, filter out the junk, and
send the good traffic back to you.
