Would OP idea work? We do not need to hire them forever, if can get a few months or few attacks worth of coverage (is this possible) it might kill the DDOS culprit.
This is how i pic the graph you sent, is this how it works?
Anycast methodologies may be exploited to distribute DDoS attacks and reduce their effectiveness: As traffic is routed to the closest node, a process over which the
attacker has no control, the DDoS traffic flow will be distributed amongst the closest nodes. Thus, not all nodes might be affected and no lag occurs.
