Abstract
Implementations described and claimed herein provide systems and methods for mitigating network threats. In one implementation, a provider edge device of a telecommunications network is configured to accept distributed denial of service mitigation rule propagation from a customer edge device of a customer network in communication with the provider edge device. A distributed denial of service mitigation rule for the customer network is received at the provider edge device from the customer edge device. The distributed denial of service mitigation rule includes one or more routing parameters and a mitigation action. The distributed denial of service mitigation rule is implemented locally on the provider edge device of the telecommunications network. A broadcasting of the distributed denial of service mitigation rule in the telecommunications network is prevented beyond the provider edge device.
