# Game Shield: DDoS and CC mitigation built for game traffic. The GameShield documentation describes a
# customisable network security solution for the game industry that defends against TCP CC attacks and
# Tb-level DDoS attacks, integrates an SDK into the client so genuine users can be separated from
# attackers by dynamic scheduling, spreads attacks across nodes deployed over the entire network so
# they are not concentrated on a single point, has game security gateways that automatically intercept
# empty and slow TCP connection requests, and offers an ISP-level UDP block service on single-ISP-line
# protection nodes.
