BGP Black-Hole Routing (RTBH) Setup
RTBH — Remotely Triggered Black Hole — is the fastest way to stop a volumetric flood before it saturates your uplinks. ITORO configures the BGP communities with your upstream providers so WanGuard can trigger black-holing automatically the moment an attack crosses threshold.
What ITORO delivers
- BGP community design and coordination with your upstream / Tier 1-2 providers.
- WanGuard wired to announce black-hole routes automatically on detection.
- Scope control so a black hole drops the target, not your whole prefix, wherever possible.
- Withdrawal logic so protection lifts cleanly once the attack ends.
How it works
Because RTBH drops all traffic to the targeted IP, it can also block legitimate traffic — so it is a blunt, last-resort tool used when a flood would otherwise saturate the link. We pair it with BGP FlowSpec, which filters precisely, and use RTBH as the fallback for the largest attacks.
