Abstract
Traffic flow from a traffic source with a source IP address to a customer system with a destination IP address is filtered by comparing the source IP address to a customer blacklist. If the source IP address is on the customer blacklist, then traffic to the customer system is blocked; else, traffic to the customer system is allowed. The customer blacklist is generated from a network blacklist, comprising IP addresses of unwanted traffic sources, and a customer whitelist, comprising IP addresses of wanted traffic sources. The customer blacklist is generated by removing from the network blacklist any IP address also on the customer whitelist. The network blacklist is generated by acquiring raw blacklists from reputation systems. IP addresses on the raw blacklists are sorted by prefix groups, which are rank ordered by traffic frequency. Top prefix groups are selected for the network blacklist.
