Re: Encryption doesn't matter

But on volume alone, they can't determine threat.
It's also not the ISPs responsibility to run security for your server. 24 hours of a maxed out upload is not proof of anything malicious. If ISPs police malicious computers, then they are going to be pressured to police child porn, copyright violation, the issue of the day, etc. It would be a mess, and ISPs wouldn't have the resources to do it.
Plus what if 50 computers are flooding your server with bad traffic to bring it to a halt? No one computer's traffic is causing you harm, it's only the combination of all of them together. They could all have different ISPs. No single ISP would see anything bad or be able to stop the attack.
