Anti-DDoS Support on MMIX Route Servers

Remote Triggered Black Hole Filtering (RTBH)

MMIX Supports RTBH for announcemnet of black-hole filtering. In order to facilitate better routing management for routes being advertised via MMIX Route Servers, we highly recommend all members to make use of BGP community tagging when they annoouncement/received BGP routes to/from the MMIX route servers.


The BGP community supported for RTBH filtering.

BGP community Next Hop Address
Mandalay IXP 9333:66 103.116.193.66
  • Trigger member routers to discard (null) route for a specific address. MMIX route servers will ONLY accept /32s with BGP community tagged for MMIX filtering and forward the network prefixes to member routers.
  • The next-hop address used for destination based RTBH filtering. MMIX members should configure their routers to discard the traffic or point to a "null" interface if they received the route with related RTBH community and next hop address.
