How do DDoS mitigation services protect online games from attacks?

DDoS mitigation services use various techniques to protect online games from attacks. These include traffic scrubbing (filtering malicious traffic), rate limiting (restricting the number of requests from a single source), content delivery networks (CDNs) to distribute traffic across multiple servers, and always-on monitoring to detect and respond to attacks in real-time. They act as a buffer between the game server and the internet, absorbing the attack traffic before it reaches the target.
