Abstract
A network protection service for providing protective assistance to a subscribing host on a network is disclosed. The network protection service is configured to establish a relationship with a subscribing host also connected to the network. Moreover, based on the established relationship with the subscribing host, the network protection service is configured to detect a condition for providing protective assistance to the subscribing host. Upon detecting the condition, the network protection service provides protective assistance to the subscribing host. Providing protective assistance to the subscribing host comprises rerouting network traffic directed to the subscribing host to the network protection service, filtering the network traffic rerouted to the network protection service, and forwarding the filtered network traffic to the subscribing host.
