The choice of equipment, or what to look for in cases of a DDoS attack?

Question

DDoS Protection

Hello.
Please tell me what parameters of the machine you need to pay attention to?
If the goal is to protect yourself from ddos ​​attacks? without intervention or with intervention but partial in unix systems.
Interested in the reaction of individual components of the machine or the entire machine during the attack.
I understand that it is now 2019, and the types of DDoS attacks cannot be counted, but nevertheless, if we assume there is a machine with
32 gb of RAM, + 500 mb channel + (i7 7700k) + SSD
or
64 gb RAM + 500 mb channel + (i7 7700k) + SSD
Which builds up faster? Depending on what they will beat? And if there is a strong syn-flood?
Or vice versa, 16 GB of RAM, BUT 1gb channel.

What will be easier to break through? Machine power, or channel length?

Answer 1

syn-flood

The most stupid type of attack, by the way. Against him, a pack of countermeasures has long been invented.
On the subject: take a more powerful server, and entrust protection against dudos to software that is designed for this and to configure the firewall.

Answer 2

cloudflare. Putting 1 gb channel is not a problem.

Answer 3

Both will develop about the same quickly, well, one may be a minute later, but do you have a set of engineers who are ready to provide a response to the problem within a minute at any time of the day and any day? If not, then you do not care about the iron in your key
