A DDoS gets some fraction of the entire internet to attack a single host.

As the internet gets more users and more devices connected, the ratio of DDoS volume to a single connections volume will only get larger.

Is there any kind of solution?

Good idea. People only learn that something is wrong, when... they don't have internet anymore ;D.
