For IDMS 'scrubbing' solutions, one merely injects the route of the attack targets into one's iBGP, in order to draw all traffic towards that specific target into the scrubbing center. For S/RTBH and flow-spec, modern edge routers can scale to millions of routes; also note one isn't limited to /32s. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Roland Dobbins <rdobb...@arbor.net> // <http://www.arbornetworks.com> Injustice is relatively easy to bear; what stings is justice. -- H.L.
