At last Ripe meeting, i made a presentation about the way France Telecom
is handling DDOS attack :

Slides at

We presented our practice from a NOC perspective (ACL, blackhole, sinkhole,
netflow, sample, ... etc) and our next steps.

We proposed to give this presentation at coming Nanog, but we were not
so succesfull. Next nanog meeting maybe ...
