[What it means](https://koalavps.com/glossary-ddos-mitigation/#section-1)[For hosting](https://koalavps.com/glossary-ddos-mitigation/#section-2)[Which attacks and limits are covered?](https://koalavps.com/glossary-ddos-mitigation/#section-3)[Knowledge base](https://koalavps.com/resources/)

## What it means

Network filtering may address large floods, while application attacks can require rate limits, caching or request budgets. No single system eliminates every availability risk.

## For hosting

Read the protection scope, escalation process and traffic-restriction policy. A capacity number without a defined service boundary is incomplete.

## Which attacks and limits are covered?

Ask about volumetric filtering, application-level controls, escalation and when traffic may be restricted. A generic protection badge cannot answer these operational questions.
