   Box stopping DDoS attacks   
   17 Mar 16 10:09:55   
   
   Some time back at a computer fair, I saw one particular stall exhibiting some   
   type of "box" (to fit into a rack) which, the guy said, prevents DDoS attacks.   
   I would like to know 1) what this box is doing, and 2) what it's doing that a   
   normal Linux box    
   configured to be "in between" the net and a server, cannot do?   
      
      
   Thanks.
