user3029: Since NXT does transparent forging and it select a node to be the main one to solve blocks. How does it prevent a DDOS attack? And if a ddos was sucessful on the node during forging, what happens then? does it solve blocks half way only? 

user2257: I am a developer for NXT and am currently programming an automated defense system for the network, aside from this if a forger is DDOS'd my understanding is that the network will skip to the next node and not process the block the attacked node produce(s/d). 

user18526: Transparent Forging tells where to send transactions to but it doesn't force to use the same node for generation of blocks. In the worst case the next block will be empty. Empty blocks still secure the blockchain with already included transactions.
