Local DDOS mitigation announcements in a telecommunications network

One or more non-transitory tangible computer-readable storage media storing computer-executable instructions for performing a computer process on a computing system, the computer process comprising:

• configuring a first edge device of a first telecommunications network to accept distributed denial of service mitigation rule propagation from a second edge device of a second telecommunications network in communication with the first edge device;
• receiving a distributed denial of service mitigation rule for the second telecommunications network at the first edge device from the second edge device, the distributed denial of service mitigation rule including one or more routing parameters and a mitigation action;
• implementing the distributed denial of service mitigation rule locally on the first edge device of the first telecommunications network;
• and
• preventing a broadcasting of the distributed denial of service mitigation rule in the first telecommunications network beyond the first edge device.

A system for mitigating network threats, the system comprising:

• a customer edge device deployed in a customer network;
• a distributed denial of service mitigator in communication with the customer edge device, the distributed denial of service mitigator broadcasting a distributed denial of service mitigation rule to the customer edge device in response to a distributed denial of service attack detected for targeting the customer network;
• and
• a provider edge device deployed in a telecommunications network and in communication with the customer edge device, the provider edge device configured to accept distributed denial of service mitigation propagation from the customer edge device, the provider edge device receiving the distributed denial of service mitigation rule from the customer edge device and implementing the distributed denial of service mitigation rule locally on the provider edge device, the distributed denial of service mitigation rule prevented from being broadcast in the telecommunications network beyond the provider edge device.
