Gaming · UDP flood + query flood
Gaming platform protected during launch attack
European MMORPG protected during a release-day attack against login and game ports.
Problem
The client launched a new title and within the first hour faced a sustained UDP flood against the login and game ports, with parallel query floods aimed at the master server.
Solution
Traffic was rerouted through Routevara scrubbing, a custom UDP profile was activated, query-port rules were tightened and engineers stayed on call through the launch window.
Result
Service remained online through launch. Latency for legitimate players stayed within their pre-launch target. The team kept their marketing window.
