Blackholing

DDoS
traffic is dropped

When you detect a DDoS attack against your network, you can announce the affected prefixes as Blackholes.

As a result, all the traffic flowing to the victim will instead be dropped on the GPIEX platform, so that your resources are protected against the increased loads caused by the attack. The blackholed traffic will never reach your access.

What's more, you can apply specific communities (policy control) to signal blackholed routes only to a subset of peers.

Blackholing
is free of charge

The Blackholing service is available at all GPIEX and is free of charge. Our Blackholing support is available for peers running both IPv4 and IPv6.
