Cloudflare Magic Transit DDoS Protection for Unbreakable Network Security
A single DDoS attack in December 2025 peaked at 31.4 Tbps and lasted just 35 seconds. Your ISP’s bundled protection typically capped at 10× your subscribed bandwidth would not have survived the first second. As an authorised Cloudflare partner, Axclusive delivers Magic Transit directly on our enterprise circuits, giving every customer access to the same 500+ Tbps global defence network that absorbs the world’s largest attacks.
The Problem with ISP DDoS Protection
Most ISPs in Singapore offer DDoS protection sized to roughly 10× the customer’s port speed. A 1 Gbps circuit gets around 10 Gbps of protection. That number sounds reasonable until you look at what attackers are actually launching:
31.4 Tbps — record volumetric attack, December 2025.
34.4 million network-layer DDoS attacks mitigated by Cloudflare in 2025.
700%+ year-over-year growth in hyper-volumetric attacks.
5,376 attacks per hour — the 2025 average across Cloudflare’s network.
A 10 Gbps ceiling is 0.03% of a 31.4 Tbps flood. When an attack of this scale hits, your ISP’s only realistic option is to blackhole your prefix — which means your service goes down, exactly as the attacker intended.
Why bandwidth multiples fail
ISP-bundled DDoS protection was designed for an era when attacks peaked in single-digit Gbps. Modern botnets routinely generate terabits of traffic in seconds. Measuring protection as a multiple of your port speed is like measuring a dam’s strength by the size of the creek it was built for.
How Axclusive Delivers Cloudflare Magic Transit
When you add Cloudflare Magic Transit to your Axclusive Dedicated Internet Access or IP Transit circuit, your network gains access to the full power of Cloudflare’s global anycast infrastructure. Here is how it works:
Step 1 — Your IP prefixes are announced globally
Cloudflare announces your protected IP space via BGP from 330+ data centers simultaneously. All inbound traffic is automatically routed to the nearest Cloudflare edge location — close to the source, far from your infrastructure.
Step 2 — Traffic is scrubbed in real time
Every packet is inspected using multi-layer analysis: rate limiting, anomaly detection, traffic pattern matching, and AI-driven threat intelligence. Malicious traffic is dropped at the edge. Detection to mitigation happens in under 3 seconds, fully autonomously.
Step 3 — Clean traffic is delivered to your circuit
Verified clean traffic is forwarded to your Axclusive circuit via GRE, IPsec tunnels, or Cloudflare Network Interconnect. Your servers, firewalls, and applications only ever see legitimate traffic.
Step 4 — Outbound traffic bypasses Cloudflare entirely
Direct Server Return (DSR) means your outbound traffic leaves at full wire speed through your Axclusive circuit. No hairpinning, no latency penalty. In many cases, end-user latency actually improves because inbound traffic rides Cloudflare’s private backbone instead of the congested public internet.
Why This Changes Everything At a Glance
What You Gain as a Customer
Uninterrupted business operations: Attack traffic is absorbed at Cloudflare’s edge across 330+ cities. Your circuit, your servers, and your revenue-generating services never see the flood. You stay online during exactly the kind of event that would force a standard ISP to disconnect you.
Protection that grows with the threat: Cloudflare’s network crossed 500 Tbps in 2025 and continues to scale ahead of attack sizes. You inherit every capacity upgrade automatically — no hardware refreshes, no engineering tickets, no additional cost.
Predictable cost, no surprise bills: Magic Transit is billed at a flat monthly rate with no bandwidth overage fees and no charges for turning protection on. You know your costs in advance, even during the worst attack months.
Full-stack protection from Layer 3 to Layer 7: Beyond volumetric scrubbing, you get Magic Firewall (packet-level rules at every edge location), HTTP/HTTPS flood defence, geo-blocking, and programmable mitigation logic — all managed from a single dashboard or API.
Singapore partner, global infrastructure: Your SLA, your commercial terms, and your incident escalation run through Axclusive — a locally registered Singapore ISP with 24/7 NOC support. When something matters, you call a Singapore number and reach engineers who know your topology.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I add this to my existing Axclusive circuit?
Yes. Cloudflare Magic Transit is available as a managed service add-on for all existing and new Axclusive DIA and IP Transit customers. No hardware changes are required on your end.
Do I need to own my own IP addresses?
Not necessarily. If you own a /24 or larger prefix, we onboard it directly. If you don’t, Cloudflare offers managed IP space so you still get the full protection suite.
Will it add latency?
No. Magic Transit’s Direct Server Return architecture means only inbound traffic passes through Cloudflare. Outbound traffic goes directly through your Axclusive circuit. Most customers see equal or improved latency after deployment.
What if I already have a firewall or WAF?
Magic Transit operates upstream of your existing security stack. Your on-prem equipment continues to function — it just stops being the first line of defence against volumetric floods, which extends its useful life significantly.
