SSDP most used DDOS vector

Hi All,

I want to share because i just found out this:

Since the beginning of the year, SSDP(upnp) is the most used protocol for amplified DDOS attacks. Today, it appears 2x to 3x more used than DNS or NTP.

You could find a lot of articles related while searching SSDP+DDOS on google. The main source is Akamai.
