Anti-DDoS Protection for SHOUTcast Internet Radio Streaming
Are you looking for a secure SHOUTcast radio server with low latency, excellent sound quality, and protection against DDoS attacks? You've come to the right place! Our servers deliver excellent quality at low latency and are fully protected against DDoS attacks. RCAST servers use the latest hardware appliances and sophisticated perimeter security technologies to provide first-rate protection against large-scale DDoS attacks. We are connected to high-speed networks that ensure low latency.
What is anti-DDoS protection?
As the volume of data that exists on the internet grows exponentially, distributed denial-of-service (DDoS) attacks are becoming increasingly common.
A DDoS attack aims to make a server, service, or infrastructure unavailable—in our case, a SHOUTcast radio server. An attack can take different forms. It may saturate the server's bandwidth and make it unreachable, or it may overwhelm the machine's system resources and prevent it from responding to legitimate traffic.
During a DDoS attack, requests are sent in high numbers at the same time from multiple points on the internet. The intensity of this crossfire renders the service unstable, and sometimes unavailable.
RCAST uses this anti-DDoS solution to protect against distributed denial-of-service attacks. With all our services, we include a mitigation solution based on technology that can:
- Analyze data packets quickly in real time.
- Divert your server's incoming traffic.
- Separate illegitimate requests from legitimate traffic.
The progression of a DDoS attack on a radio server:
- The server is operational and sends and receives packets normally.
- A DDoS attack begins and may overload the available bandwidth or overwhelm system resources.
- The network becomes overloaded, preventing the server from processing legitimate packets among the incoming traffic.
