Due to the efficiency of our upstream provider's abuse department, opening efficiently at 8 am and closing just as efficiently at 5 pm (because we all know network abuse only occurs between 8 and 5), the ISP wasn't going to be of much help with an attack that started at 6:30pm localtime.

We could ask Cisco and Juniper to add a way of 'artificially' remove networks from the CEF table (with an ACL or so). That way, even with loose-RPF, the packet will be dropped based on source-address at the ingress without consuming CPU. Or maybe such a feature already exist André At 09:06

Andre, Actually it already exists. But to do it, you need to ensure you have loose-RPF checking enabled and null-route the network you want the data dropped for. Since a null-route is considered by loose-RPF checking as a bad route, it will drop the data for you. thanks, charles On

With Juniper gear there is no performance difference between what you propose and an ACL, both run at wire rate. So implementing CPU saving measures is pointless waste of time. Pete We could ask Cisco and Juniper to add a way of 'artificially' remove networks from the CEF table (with an ACL

what the ArrowPoint and the 7206 cpu's could handle. FYI: one of my DOS attacks was a PPS attack, and since the packets were small and not using bandwidth, blocking via access-list recovered the network completely with little notice of CPU load over normal traffic. Apparently a 7206 can block more PPS
