Use cases for DDoS Open Threat Signaling
draft-ietf-dots-use-cases-20
Abstract
The DDoS Open Threat Signaling (DOTS) effort is intended to provide
protocols to facilitate interoperability across disparate DDoS
mitigation solutions. This document presents sample use cases which
describe the interactions expected between the DOTS components as
well as DOTS messaging exchanges. These use cases are meant to
identify the interacting DOTS components, how they collaborate, and
what are the typical information to be exchanged.

1. Introduction
At the time of writing, distributed denial-of-service (DDoS) attack
mitigation solutions are largely based upon siloed, proprietary
communications schemes with vendor lock-in as a side-effect. This
can result in the configuration, provisioning, operation, and
activation of these solutions being a highly manual and often time-
consuming process. Additionally, coordinating multiple DDoS
mitigation solutions simultaneously is fraught with both technical
and process-related hurdles. This greatly increases operational
complexity which, in turn, can degrade the efficacy of mitigations.
The DDoS Open Threat Signaling (DOTS) effort is intended to specify
protocols that facilitate interoperability between diverse DDoS
mitigation solutions and ensure greater integration in term of attack
detection, mitigation requests, and attack characterization patterns.
As DDoS solutions are broadly heterogeneous among vendors, the
