Abstract
A method and apparatus for processing flow specification (Flowspec) messages to one or more of a plurality of customer networks by a controller device coupled to the plurality of customer networks. Preferably a network controller monitors network traffic flowing through each of the customer networks for detecting a network attack in one of the plurality of customer networks, via monitoring of the network traffic. Upon detection of a network attack, a Flowspec message is generated for the customer network detected to be under network attack wherein the Flowspec message is configured specifically for that customer network. The generated Flowspec message is transmitted to the customer network detected to be under network attack for implementation by the customer network for mitigation of the detected network attack.
