Thats... A lot of traffic.

Archive: broken

From the post:

>Large-scale attacks designed to bring down Internet services by sending them more traffic than they can process keep getting bigger, with the largest one yet, measured at 7.3 terabits per second, being reported Friday by Internet security and performance provider Cloudflare. The 7.3Tbps attack amounted to 37.4 terabytes of junk traffic that hit the target in just 45 seconds. That's an almost incomprehensible amount of data, equivalent to more than 9,300 full-length HD movies or 7,500 hours of HD streaming content in well under a minute.

That article has a good explanation of why you should block all UDP ports unless you need them. The last time I heard about it I only read about the reflection attack, and that description did not make it clear that the reflection attack was a danger to your servers. I didn’t know that UDP leaves you open to having data dumped on you.
