APB ddos server mitigation increase latency?

[Scarlet]

Does anyone notice when it's off their latency goes lower?

[Sadira]

Yeah, they stated it a couple of times that when mitigation is on, it increases the latency. The price for trying to reduce the much more harsh effects of the DDoSing itself.

as far as i’m aware mitigation “checks” every packet sent to the servers in an attempt to stop the tons of garbage traffic  a ddos causes - this obviously takes more time than just letting all the packets through
