KazakhTelecom has started a project to filter Internet traffic. The introduction of system, using equipment from Cisco and Arbor, will protect users of the data transmission network, Kazakhstan Online, from DoS (Denial of Service) and DDoS (Distributed Denial of Service) attacks. The system currently under construction is much smarter than usual firewalls and is capable of automatically determining harmful traffic and subsequently blocking it. The first stage of the project will be implemented in the cities of Almaty and Astana.
Comment:One has to wonder what KazakhTelecom has been using in the past to filter Kazakhstan Online's traffic --surely this can't be the first firewall they're implementing!
