Abstract

See full text

Methods and systems for an integrated solution to flow collection for determination of rate-based DoS attacks targeting ISP infrastructure are provided. According to one embodiment, a method of mitigating DDoS attacks is provided. Information regarding at least one destination within a network for which a distributed denial of service (DDoS) attack status is to be monitored is received by a DDoS attack detection module coupled with a flow controller via a bus. The DDoS attack status is determined for the at least one destination based on the information regarding the at least one destination. When a DDoS attack is detected the flow controller is notified of the DDoS attack status for the at least one destination by the DDoS attack detection module. Responsive thereto, the flow controller directs a route reflector to divert traffic destined for the at least one destination to a DDoS attack mitigation appliance within the network.
