How does the type of DDoS attack (volumetric, application layer) influence the pricing of IP protection?

Application-layer attacks (Layer 7) often require more sophisticated mitigation techniques and resources than volumetric attacks, leading to higher pricing for IP protection that includes Layer 7 defense. This is because Layer 7 attacks are often targeted and require deep packet inspection and analysis to identify and block malicious traffic. Volumetric attacks are generally easier to mitigate with higher bandwidth capacity, making them less expensive per unit of protection.
