Note to vendors

Vendors of DDoS mitigation products are welcome to propose that their products be included in the guide. However, as a vendor-neutral guide, we only mention products that are widely used and have a good reputation in the industry. Where vendors are mentioned, we do so for illustration purposes only. We don't intend to list all the vendors in the market.
