UC-NET-08 — Maintain communications availability under attack and failure
Protect network services against denial-of-service events through capacity management, rate limiting, filtering, or upstream DoS-mitigation services. Ensure components fail to a known, secure state while preserving essential state information, and maintain alternate communications paths so operations can continue if primary channels degrade or fail.
