HAProxy: Yes, effective for managing large-scale TCP traffic.
IDS Suricata: Yes, detects abnormal TCP traffic patterns.
WAF: No, not applicable for TCP-level traffic.
OWASP Rules: No, unrelated to TCP threats.
Complex anycast solution – WEDOS Global (or Cloudflare for example): Yes, mitigates TCP-based floods efficiently.
Solutions
Use rate limiting, SYN cookies, and TCP-level firewalls.
