A very common action is to blackhole ddos traffic upstream by sending a bgp route to the next AS with a preestablished community indicating the traffic must be sent to Null0. The route may be very specific, in order to impact as less as possible. This needs previous coordination between providers. Regards.

The technology exists to detect and classify this attack traffic, and
is deployed in production networks today.
And of course, the legitimate owners of the botted hosts are
generally unaware that their machine is being used for nefarious purposes.
In the other hand the target of a DDoS cannot do anything to stop
to attack besides adding more BW or contacting one by one the whole path of providers to try to minimize the effect.
Actually, there're lots of things they can do.I know that this has many security concerns, but would it be good
a signalling protocol between ISPs to inform the sources of a DDoS attack in order to take semiautomatic actions to rate-limit the traffic as close as the source? Of course that this is more complex that these three or two lines, but I wonder if this has been considerer in the past.
It already exists. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Roland Dobbins <rdobbins () arbor net> // <http://www.arbornetworks.com> Sell your computer and buy a guitar.
