Abstract:
In one embodiment, a device detects a denial-of-service attack and generates a message in response to the detection of the denial-of-service attack. The message is then virally distributed to a plurality of subscribed devices.
Abstract:
In one embodiment, a node N, within a computer network that utilizes a directed acyclic graph (DAG) to route packets, may select a parent node P that is a parent to the node N in the DAG. The node N may determine a grandparent node GP within the computer network that is a parent of the parent node P in the DAG. The node N may select an alternate parent node P′ within the computer network that has connectivity to the grandparent node GP and the node N. A sibling connection may be established within the computer network between the parent node P and the alternate parent node P′. The sibling connection may provide a path for reaching prefixes reachable via the node N.
