    Abstract: Systems and methods are described to enable mitigation of network attacks in communication networks. When a network attack is detected, packets within the communication network are routed through a hierarchical mitigation system, which includes at least two tiers of mitigation devices configured to apply mitigation techniques to the packets. Outer tiers of the hierarchical mitigation system (e.g., closer to an edge of the communication network) can apply simple mitigation techniques that are efficient even when distributed, and which provide early mitigation for attack packets while not requiring large amounts of computing resources. Inner tiers of the hierarchical mitigation system (e.g., closer to a destination device) can apply more complex mitigation systems that may require centralized application, and which provide more robust mitigation at a potentially higher computing resource cost.

    Abstract: This disclosure generally relates to the generation of a packet signature for packets determined to correspond to a network attack, such as a denial of service (“DoS”) attack. Specifically, a set of data packets captured during normal system operations can be analyzed to determine a set of baseline attributes. Additional packets captured during an attack can be compared to the baseline attributes, to determine, for individual packets, a probability that the packet forms a part of the attack. A packet signature can then be generated to identify attributes that are characteristic of the attack. That signature can then be used to filter out packets and mitigate the attack.
