You have discovered packets you think are part of an attack. What benefit would you gain from redirecting them through a packet scrubbing device?

Packet scrubbing (traffic scrubbing or DDoS mitigation) diverts suspicious flows to a scrubbing center where attack packets are identified and discarded, then re-injects clean traffic toward the intended destination - ensuring that legitimate users maintain connectivity during an active attack.

Packet scrubbing is not guaranteed to operate at full line rate because the deep-inspection and filtering processes introduce latency and processing overhead that may fall short of interface speed.

Packet scrubbing does not filter all traffic indiscriminately - it selectively drops attack traffic while passing valid traffic, so describing it as filtering all traffic is inaccurate.

While logging may occur as a secondary function, improved logging is not the primary benefit of a scrubbing device - its defining purpose is removing attack traffic while preserving valid traffic flow.
