BlackHole server 
The Blackhole server allows customers under a DDOS attack to send all traffic 
to the IP address under attack to null route. 
To request configuration on the blackhole server: Log into eCogent and click on 
BGP request. You will need the following information: 
1. Order Number.
 2. An IP address from your network with which we will peer. 
3. A password (all blackhole server sessions are password protected).

 All North American and Asia Pacific Customers will peer with:
 IPv4: 66.28.8.2 and IPv6: 2001:550:0:1000::421c:802 

All European Customers will peer with: IPv4: 130.117.20.2 and IPv6: 
2001:550:0:1000::8275:1402 

Once your session to the blackhole server has been established, any network you 
announce to it will be stopped at our borders. Please note that Cogent does not 
warrant or guarantee that use of the blackhole server will mitigate, or 
minimize any effects of a DDOS attack nor does Cogent guarantee that a session 
to the blackhole server can be established on a timely basis. You are limited 
to announcing 50 prefixes to our blackhole server. If you anticipate needing to 
announce more, relay that request to our Customer Support department along with 
the technical justification for an increase in the number of prefixes to be 
announced.
